Hiya! I'm finally starting to read your kinda ISBI and am totally digging it so far! I say do what works best for you as far as your pics go. The least enjoyable part of doing legacies for me is editing the pictures, but I do it because I wouldn't be satisfied otherwise. But if you don't mind your results with the in-game camera, then go for it. I think your pics look fine.

Your Sims are all very good-looking, and I love your commentary. Only in an ISBI would flunking school be worthy of congratulations! And I agree with you about Sims 2 kids being cuter than Sims 3. I just can't get next to the way any age group looks in TS3, actually, but that's my opinion. XD
