      Tapes can save A LOT of information digitally. I have some tapes from 1990s in digital8 and each one was 8-10gb of raw data when I digitalized them. The quality was insane. Ay the same time, 00s digital cameras came with mini dvds on SDs with max of 1-2gb, so they had to compress them in lossy formats

        Plus, the TV used to display the photo may also be helping it look better since old TVs had thin black lines alternating between the display lines (scan lines).

        This has the effect of smoothing out a lot of the more jarring edges of pixelation in old video games, for example.
