Skating past the statement "Or early pictures from the earlier digital cameras of 640 x 480 compared to the the newer multi megapixels." nicely there Robin....and moving right along...LOL
Right back to the 480 line TV..It has everything to do with usefulness.
640x480...are we still playing wolfenstien or the original duke nukem over there ?
I honestly don't know anyone around me that still uses such a low res, not that there isn't anyone still out there using it as I have seen it on older terminals still in use and older industrial applications but even those are being phased out quite quickly.
Comparison of DETAIL in a picture between your resolution and almost anything greater is visible to me even including my wrecked eyesight.
OK I took a picture. In the interest of disclosure I did rotate and crop the original and as its a clone ardi its still 100% on topic.
here is the other one un reduced in quality
Google drive will allow you to zoom in using double click BTW.
Now if you can tell me you cannot see the difference in clarity and quality for electronics use I am afraid I have no option but to ignore your arguments in future REGARDLESS of how good they may be.
First off I can pretty much read the resistor values quite clearly in one of them but not so easy at all in the other unless I " post process" it !!!
So if you are going to try continue this then please take your 640x480 and place it where the sun does not shine because as far as I am concerned I have made my case quite a few times in this thread using quite a few scenarios, but you are seemingly too stubborn to take them in and as they say "you can take a horse to water but you cannot make him drink"
