You cannot do better than our eyes. The dynamic range of eyes plus the bit depth are unparalleled in any camera. We're also backed by a very strong pattern matching algorithm.

That said, stereo runs pretty damn fast these days. On ASICs. TYZX, who was bought by Intel, sold a stereo camera about 3 years ago that ran ~52 fps with full point cloud returns. I think those were running 2+ Mpx.

this is one of the reasons why i said about several cameras - each camera, pair of them, can cover different [overlapping] subranges of light sensitivity and each do it better than eyes in each respective subrange, and thus the integrated image may be better than eyes'
