Question

Or they truly do.

Answer 1

With cameras every part of the image is in focus. With your eyes only a relatively small circle in the middle is focused (the rest is your peripherals). Also every camera has 20/20 vision, not true for all eyes. Your eyes also have blind spots and other obstructions.

You notice more detail because there is more detail.
