@d_kuhn - There are so many things wrong with your statement that expose the complete lack of understanding of basic science today. I think you would probably agree with most of this, but the way your comment was worded only gives ammunition to the thought processes of the scientifically ignorant.
-Firstly, we did not evolve from the same line as insects. Sure, at some point we all have a "common" ancestor - probably in the microbe stage.
-Second, there is little that is inherently flawed with the human eye - except for perhaps the blind spot we have directly in the center of our vision where the nerve bundle connects. I know the article mentioned the flaw with CCDs in the same line as a deficiency of the human eye in a certain type of situation, but don't make too big of a leap connecting the two.
-Third, basic evolution. Sure, insects eyes were "tuned" by nature over millions of years due to adaptation, random flaws and mutations, and natural selection, but those changes were for the benefit of insects and their environment. Our forward-facing binocular vision complete with adjustable retinas, eyelids, and more was adapted well over the last 1-2 million years to our type of motion, mechanics, and the processing power of our brains.
-Multi-sensor wide-field vision might work great for small creatures that work mostly by instinct, but would likely overwhelm creatures like us that use all that data to constantly make conscious and subconscious decisions. Likewise, it's a great idea for photography and video, since that information can be filtered, parsed, and analyzed over time as we see fit.
