Human Eyes and Cameras

Fast Facts:
  •  Eyes can't really be compared to video cameras (or at least, they make for a poor comparison). They function in different ways and process images differently and store data by different means, making them difficult to compare.
  • Eyes make for extremely crappy cameras. So many flaws and obstructions of view, blind spots and blurs, and all that jazz. If our eyes were cameras, we would return them.
  • To many frames per second can actually give you a headache. This is why, when something is moving to fast for your eyes to see, your eyes add in a motion blur. Without this motion blur, the eyes would get confused and your noggin will start aching.
Thoughts and Opinions:
  •  I never realized that eyes produced such a crappy quality "image"
  • Another point for technology for surpassing human limitations
Question:
Why is it that, at the point of optimal vision, fewer "megapixels" can be perceived than outside of that point? If the optimal point is compared to 7 megapixels, shouldn't the points outside of this be compared to 6 or less, since it isn't quite as clear? And does that take into consideration the blind spot where no visual data can be drawn from?
