Does it bum you out when pictures aren't that good?

Ok, so every time my step-sisters’ have a game (soccer, football, basketball, volleyball… they play a lot of sports) my father brings his camera. His insanely nice, $2000+ DSLR camera with 15 different expensive lenses. The last time I saw him doing this, I told him that people use to just use a really crappy point-and-shoot to capture the sentimental pictures. He said “Yeah, but those pictures were really shitty”, to which I replied “I don’t think amazing quality was the point…”

But then I got to thinking: Maybe tons of parents are really bummed out that the picture of their kids playing sports and hiking and going off to homecoming weren’t really amazing quality. Maybe he’s right, and I’m wrong.

So, jellies, were you/are you bummed if sentimental pictures didn’t have great quality, or were you ok so long as they captured the memory?
