Yes, I think there are anatomical limits to the eye that are relevant in
digital photography. I most measures the eye is much superior to
digital sensors but the eye has very definite frequency response limits
at the infrared and ultra-violet ends of the spectrum. These limits are
not a problem for digital sensors. I think the anatomical issues are
exactly the same... the frequency response of the ear to sound and of
the eye to light.
The link I posted earlier
<http://clarkvision.com/articles/eye-resolution.html> in response to the
question about the megapixel equivalent of the human eye apparently has
a follow-on article on the spectral response of the eye. But the site
is not responding now so I was unable to search for it.

As we have a fairly large segment of audiophiles on the list: the linked
article discusses digital audio encoding. I found it quite interesting.

It also makes me wonder about similar issues in digital photography. Are
there equivalent functional anatomical limits? What are they?
