(Color Sensor VS Camera VS Remote) For Auton?

Since I do not think teams want to spend $400 dollars on autonomous (Cameras), I am thinking that there is a solution by buying a digital color sensor to detect RG and B. I am thinking that if you even buy the sensor at 20-30 its cheaper and lets you do more than the camera since you only need the sensor for auton (if you decide to do auton). Based on this, I am looking for digital color sensors. I am looking on digikey and allied for some and if you have any you suggest, please post. Now the question to debate:

What do you think though on the idea of using (a color sensor vs a camera)with or without remote assistance vs PURE remote controlled auton)...
