•  Support Much better image than their first one. Disappointed Britain is under cloud, but I guess that's typical. -- Colin (talk) 21:05, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment meh... not that much photographic progress in the course of the past 40 years. C'mon NASA, give me some breathtaking resolution and stunning image quality! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:22, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

    • Martin, on the first image from this satellite, I initially thought this was another NASA "downsized for the web" images, which didn't compare well to 33 years ago. But it turns out the camera is only 4MP so we won't get any more detailed, and it is, as Originalwana says, from rather far away. This image has much better composition and light than the previous one from this satellite. -- Colin (talk) 09:24, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
      • That's true... considering that:  Support, although weak --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:53, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
  •  Comment Also, if I understand, these images are made from combining red, blue and green channel, each taken separately. If this implies there's no interpolation on each channel, that would mean its resolution (in the sense real details) is effectively higher than a 2048x2048 shot taken with a standard bayer pattern sensor camera. - Benh (talk) 11:46, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
