They may have been OK in their day but more modern machines are much more advanced now.
As @Meta4 said, modern machines are much more advanced now. You can get a Phantom 4 Pro which uses the same style controller, and same style bird, for a couple hundred more. The camera in the P4P is outstanding and it has enhanced obstacle avoidance.
The P3S is solid. P3 4K has all of the features of the Phantom 3 Standard, but it also does 4K video recording, comes with the much more advanced (iPad friendly) controller and has vision positioning.
If 2.7 K is good enough for you (as it is with many people), look around for a new or refurbished P3 Standard. Should be within reach for about half that price.
If you have $599, you can have a refurbished P3 Professional with Lightbridge and 4K.

E-bay, Amazon, and even direct from DJI. The last I looked DJI was out of stock. If so, be sure to set up an "In Stock Reminder" and they will e-mail you when they have more.
Above replies are spot on ...
To be honest in my view - the P3-4K was a stop-gap version to try and bridge the starter Standard to the Advanced / Pro versions. I really cannot see the point of it when P3 Pro versions are out there for same money.. in fact less if you are willing like I was to buy 2nd hand.
The Adv and Pro versions of the P3 are far better than the P3-4K .... apologies to 4k owners but that's my opinion.
Where to find ? Local adverts, Craigslist, etc. Mine was via local advert ... I was able to meet, test, fly, check the dat files etc. before handing over the money. I rec'd not only the P3P, but a hard case, extra props, extra battery etc. For less money than you say for the P3-4K

Yip for me the p34k was a lemon,big headed kiwi thought he make it better,done argtec range Wana be booster (rabbit ears)got a extra 100ft,waste my money on that,got so sick of the rth and wifi issues with it , it now lives in a box with bad stress cracks under motors and only just over 10 flights,,some might have trouble free issues with p34k but I was not one of them,,
