No, you want to be able to look back on your experiences with photographs that will recall the wonderful emotions of the original moments. Your camera is an important consideration. You will want to be able to capture a wide angle view of a gorgeous sunrise on the beach, or zoom in to photograph an amazingly beautiful bird that is not part of your home environment, or to capture the running of the bulls in HD video.
