It has to do with how your eyes focus. Human eyes have about 575 megapixels of resolution, but only in the exact spot we are focusing on. A high end photo camera can have around 60-70 megapixels, but the focus cone is much wider than what the human eye is capable. So while the human eye is technically higher quality, it’s only able to be high resolution on a small area. Plus cameras can zoom and magnify images easily, making the image’s details more pronounced.
