Maybe it's difficult to judge because people don't usually talk about it. I'd say I can visualize things just as vividly as I would experience when I look at them. That is, I won't notice every detail, but I don't notice every detail even when I'm staring right at something. I can look at something, look away for a while and visualize it, then look back at it and compare the subjective experience, and it's pretty much the same. It's more along the lines of getting the same mental stimulation of recognition and experience as I would get if I were looking at something, and it's the same as other senses. I can imagine myself on a beach, see the contrast of colors of leaves and the sky, hear the waves, feel the courseness of the sand, smell the sea, and I know from experience that if I were actually there, I would have the same sensations except I couldn't turn them off easily.
