Cameras have evolved quite a lot lately. Breakthroughs in resolution, camera stabilization, and other fields have led cameras to the brink of surpassing the quality of the human eye. Are we there yet?
Resolution: While the exact "resolution" of the eye is debated, it is estimated to be capable of seeing around 570 megapixels, but can only distinguish about 7 of them. The highest quality camera is a satellite camera capable of photographing 121 megapixels.
Frame Rate: The human eye "sees" roughly 60 FPS (frames per second) whereas the highest framerate achieved by a camera comes from a camera developed by MIT which shoots around 1 trillion FPS (used to visualize the movement of light.)
Low-Light: While a casual DSLR may be outplayed by your eyes in low light, cameras like the Sony A7s perform much more effectively in low-light.
However high your image quality may be, what's most important is still how you use those images and other tools to tell a story.
