Not sure about "the greatest" TBH.
Excellent dynamic range, for sure, and a reasonably high resolution sensor.
However the memory system backing it up is shockingly bad, error prone and susceptible to creating artifacts; if you think jpeg loses a lot of data when it compresses, it's got nothing on the eye's memory system which is forced to interpolate between frames pretty much all the time.
The lens, although initially a nice 54mm prime, is always soft at the edges and degrades to soft quite quickly in the center as it ages. And you just try swapping it out for a nice, long telephoto.
Futher that sensor is next to useless in low light and falls back to monochrome after just a couple of stops... assuming you've not burned it out by looking at something a few stops too bright.
also my copy of this camera "eyes" you speak of came with a engineering defect and there is no technical assistance from the manufacturer!
I had to put a filter in it called contact lens to correct an image blurriness in my sensor. I also have to replace this filter from time to time. There is no assistance, no firmware update whatsoever.
@intymalcolm@gabrielklee roflmao! For those people who find the filter replacement tedious it is also possible to perform high cost laser treatments on the lens.

In what terms is the eye the best camera? My camera has interchangable lenses. There are special lenses, which beats my eye in different aspects. The camera body have features, which my eye dont have. So, what do you mean by "best"?
Can your eye create good bokeh or can you see details in the distance? Also, what you see is not only what your eye capured, but what your brain does with it.

Also, it's a bugger to get spares for.
:D
Pretty to look at though, innit.

She started her post with "The living eye", so the eye is the best camera. ..>>
