Modern auto focus technology has come a long way from the manual split prism focusing aids found on SLR cameras of yesteryear. Having to take the extra time to insure that the image was in focus caused me to miss many shots. Now with quick and accurate multi-point AF systems in modern cameras, there is no excuse for blurred images unless done intentionally for artistic affect or unintended motion blur.Almost anyone can pick up a camera and take a well exposed, sharp image. Notice I didn't say a "good" picture since that is subjective.
Since the playing field has been somewhat leveled. Those with visual acuity issues can now take a sharp picture without too much fear of out of focused final product.
Since modern cameras can do it all, and pretty good at that, more people are taking up the hobby of photography and some of them are even going pro. The third eye is now the predominant factor in the personal style and creative vision which distinguishes one photographer's work from another. And it is nearly impossible to tell if that image was taken by a visually impaired person or someone with 20/20 vision.
Let the games begin. :-)
