That's not necessarily true. Take a look at the images in 341's whitepaper. It was quite an ah-ha moment for us when we realized that their 640x480 images were the same size as our 320x240 images from that year.

I think you alluded to it when you said "poor lighting", but that's not how I'd look at it. It's lighting optimized for the task required. There's been a lot of discussion about using the hold exposure setting to get the correct conditions.
