> As you'll see if you look above, it was you who brought about the size of the sensor when critiquing my comment, which was addressing resolution.
Because sensor size is what's important in digital photography, you can always stitch together multiple images to get more resolution. A large sensor like what's flying on Juno is orders of magnitude better than a camera phone sensor regardless of the resolution. In general cell phone cameras (which you decided to compare Juno's to) are high resolution, but with small a sensor (everything in a phone is small!). Juno is the opposite, low resolution and a large sensor. If you want to take pictures of stuff in space you most certainly want a large sensor.
> You also seem to feel the need to defend Juno, as if I was attacking it somehow, so I don't think this conversation can be very productive.
Well you did attack it by saying its camera was the same quality as a camera phone (aka cheap and shitty). It's not similar to a camera phone whatsoever, you were just plain wrong.
