Here’s a sample clip from 1993 of NYC: https://youtu.be/fT4lDU-QLUY It’s amazing. It so...looks like today, but it’s not. I don’t know how to describe the realness of image quality that looks like it was filmed earlier this afternoon but is in fact over 20 years ago. Unsettling yet beautiful.

Thanks for sharing this, it's very uncanny to watch, brings back memories of seeing the world when it actually looked this way.

The quality is amazing. It's better than a ton of HD devices that came out in the 2000's, and even some from the 2010's.
