how come my 1k+ dollar phone/camera can’t see nearly as much as my eye can. For example, we can both make out the moon clearly, and focus on tiny close up objects, but most cameras can’t.

Answer 1

* To start with, you don’t have a $1000 camera.
* Most of that price goes to other stuff in the phone.
* If you spent $1000 on just a camera, you’d get a much better image.
* Secondly, your eyes/optic nerves/brain are much better at processing images in a pleasing way than a man-made camera is.
* You have learned since the moment you opened your eyes as a baby how to smoothly interpret the information coming from your eyes.
* Your brain has literally wired itself to be good at processing information from your eyes.
* Man-made cameras don’t really stand a chance.
