Film cameras and the younger generation

Interesting article below about a young Australian woman who recently got into the business of selling film cameras. And she is doing well! Great to see young people taking up film photography! :)
"Ms Stefanis says her Reloader - which has been designed to suit beginners with zero experience in photography - is also better value for money in the long run"
"'It's been incredible, I literally can't keep up with the demand,' she told Daily Mail Australia. 'I've outgrown my manufacturing space in two months.'"
"Made from ABS plastic, the palm-sized camera has a 31mm lens and a focus of up to one metre, with a shutter speed of 1/120S and a built-in flash powered by a triple A battery which is brighter than what is used in traditional disposables."

The camera, although attractive, seems very pricey for what it is. There are newly produced $10 (and under) alternatives available which are essentially the same thing.
