Light Sensor Examination and Comparison Study of the Human Retina and of a Professional Cinema Camera’s CMOS Sensor

In this study, the image resolution of the human eye and of a professional cinema camera have been examined and compared based on the surface area and density of the light receptors in both the human retina and in the CMOS digital imaging sensor. Based upon our comparisons, the conclusion that was drawn reveals that the image the human eye perceives has a higher resolution than that of current technology of state-of-the-art professional cinema cameras.
