Assuming that you aren't looking for a vintage camera (and the restoration that would go along with it), just about any camcorder should have a composite video output on it. You can often pick them up dirt cheap or even free when the tape mechanism breaks down, leaving the camera still working fine.

If you want to buy new, a small color "security camera" type unit is always an option. I just bought a nice Sony unit brand new for <$150 for use with a stereo microscope for SMD work. Takes a C-mount lens if you want to use it as a stand-alone camera.
