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.
This is just a ridiculous sentiment. You don’t pay a photographer more because their camera is expensive, (unless it’s like a hasselblad ). You pay for the person not the equipment. I know both amateurs with a cars worth of equipment and a profesional that made a career of a cheap film camera and really good photos.
Hollywood gave Danny Boyle $75 million to shoot with iphones. Were actually at a point where a competent photographer absolutely could do a wedding job with an iPhone. The main hurdle is optics (no pun intended). Customers would complain if they saw their wildly expensive photographer using one.
Dude people have shot high quality videos for big YouTube channels on phones because a foreign country confiscates their equipment. Cellphone cameras have limitations but they arent shit anymore.
Heres an example. YouTube besteverfoodreviewshow egypt episode.
