Fair point! Is there some advantage eyes have that wouldn't be surmountable with simply more cameras (i.e. to capture different exposure ranges etc)? I actually

  It's a question of cost and technology. Cinema cameras don't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just because studios like spending money. Humans can see differences between even the best cameras on the market. It's also a bit of a false analogy. Cameras don't really work like human vision. We do things like mesopic vision that simply aren't possible with current sensors. We have massively high resolution. We have async "pixels" that can respond immediately without waiting for a framing signal. Our brains process color in truly weird ways. It's not like there's some physical law preventing computer vision from being better than human vision, but it's an incredibly difficult engineering problem that we've spent the better part of a century attacking without clearly winning.

  Resolution; extreme dynamic range in a single exposure; sensitivity with short exposures in low light; focal range and speed of refocusing; white point adjustments (happening to a large degree in the retina as receptors become temporarily desensitized to a given wavelength with uninterrupted exposure). I’m sure there are more.
