If my camera’s quality is lower than professional/expensive cameras, would that be okay?

Your skills, equipment, and presentation should be at the quality of a top conservatory school – think RISDI (http://portfolios.risd.edu/search?field=Photography&time=all&risd_status=375&risd_major=383).

If the quality of your work, whether due to content or equipment is at a lower quality, it will NOT move your application forward. In fact, IMHO submitting something that is less than conservatory level could hinder your application – in which case you should NOT submit an arts supplement and let your application be evaluated on just the required materials.
