The advantages of the human eye compared to the camera get reduced a bit as we

leave the retina and travel back toward the brain. The camera sends every pixel’s
data from the sensor to a computer chip for processing into an image. 

Simply speaking, the human eye is a subjective device. This means that your
eyes work in harmony with your brain to create the images you perceive: Your
eyes are adjusting the focus (by bending the light through the lens in your
eyeballs) and translating photons (light) into an electrical impulse your brain
can process. From there onwards, it’s all about your brain: It is continuously
readjusting its colour balance according to the lighting context. In other words,
our eyes know what must be seen as red or white or black etc.

A camera, on the other hand, is an absolute measurement device — It is

measuring the light that hits a series of sensor, but the sensor is ‘dumb’, and
the signals recorded need to be adjusted to suit the color temperature of the
light illuminating the scene, for example

Lens focus: In camera, the lens moves closer/further from the film to focus.
In your eyes, the lens changes shape to focus: The muscles in your eyes change
the actual shape of the lens inside your eyes.

Sensitivity to light: A film in a camera is uniformly sensitive to light. The

human retina is not. Therefore, with respect to quality of image and capturing
power, our eyes have a greater sensitivity in dark locations than a typical
camera.

There are lighting situations that a current digital cameras cannot capture
easily: The photos will come out blurry, or in a barrage of digital noise. As an
example, when observing a fluorescence image of cells under a microscope, the
image you can see with your eyes would be nigh-on impossible to capture for
 an ordinary camera. This is mainly because of the fact that the amount of light
entering the camera (and your eyes) is so low.

Because a camera has photoreceptors all over its lens, it always sees a “full” picture.
Your eyes, on the other hand, have a blind spot. That’s the point where the optic
nerve connects to the retina. It has no photoreceptors at all. 
Most of the time, you don’t notice your blind spot. This is because when light hits this
area of one eye, your brain uses information from your other eye to fill in the
gap. Finally, your eyes actually stop seeing clearly whenever you spin or turn quickly.
It’s why dancers learn the technique of spotting. They focus on one spot and turn their
head quickly to refocus on that spot with each turn . This helps maintain their balance
and orientation. It can also keep them from getting dizzy. Now a camera can’t do
that!  

The primary advantages are:

 Sensitivity range (we can see in much brighter and dimmer light situations)
 The processing done to the image by our brains
 Faster capture: our brains have a finite capacity for receiving information and over a
certain point it all becomes a blur. You can specifically engineer cameras which can
capture higher frame rates than humans can see.
 Wider frequency range: you can synthesise a ‘camera’ which can capture frequencies
of light that humans cannot see. There are lots of space based cameras which watch
for frequencies which indicate the presence of certain chemicals such as gas
emissions from pollution or the performance of crop types. Also we are probably
more familiar with infrared cameras which can see heat emissions.
 Lower light: with big lenses and big sensors you can capture more light than the
human eye. The human eye is amazing but in low light it gives up on colour and
switches to monochrome. Also you can use a photomultiplier (starlight scope) to see
in almost total darkness but with higher noise and lower detail.
 Stop time: a camera can capture a moment and keep just a single image of it.
 Macro and microscope: we need a magnifying glass but many cameras feature a
macro mode which can focus on really small objects and allow extremely detailed
 views. This is arguable because we can also use lenses but cameras don't work
without lenses and you can decide what lens to use, unlike a human who needs add-
ons to our primary lens

Our eyes are able to look around a scene and dynamically adjust based on subject

matter, whereas cameras capture a single still image. This trait accounts for many of
our commonly understood advantages over cameras. For example, our eyes can
compensate as we focus on regions of varying brightness, can look around to encompass a broader

angle of view, or can alternately focus on objects at a variety of distances.

The main advantages are: • Sensitivity range (able to see in much clearer and dimmer light
circumstances) .  Our eyes can look around a scene and adjust rapidly depending on subject matter,
while a single still picture is captured by cameras.   Our eyes, for example, can adjust as we concentrate
on regions of different light, can look around to cover a larger angle of view, or can focus on objects at
different distances.

One of the advantages of the human eye over the camera is sensitivity range, in human eyes we are able
to see much clearer and in dimmer light circumstances. Our eyes can look around a scene and adjust
rapidly depending on the subject, while cameras can only capture a single still picture. Human eyes can
adjust as we concentrate on regions of different light, can look around to cover a larger angle of view
and able to focus on objects at different distances.
