14 yr old has saved half the money for a camera and wants us to put in the rest

Since last Diwali she has saved every bit of gift money and pocket money and now she has about half. Model picked, reviews watched, a spreadsheet even. Her mummy says matching is fine but only if she also pays half of any repair. Ba says just buy it for her, she's a good girl 🙂 I like that she saved. I'm less sure about this becoming the deal every time she wants something big, with Papa writing the other half. How have you handled the 'I've saved half' request?
