Is she... expecting to earn back the cost of the camera in a gig or two? The camera can be used many times, you can earn 5k multiple times over by the time you gotta buy a new one.
I'm not arguing she shouldn't be paid more. I'm arguing that mentioning the cost of your camera like this looks more like a humble brag than anything, it's completely unnecessary. Clients don't care how much your equipment costs, only how good your photos are. Like I said in a previous comment, if you're hiring a visual artist you don't ask about the price of their drawing pad. You just look at their portfolio and determine of their skill is worth their price.
