Instead of pan and zoom cameras, cameras should be modeled on flies’ eyes. Multiple little fixed cameras with overlapping fields of view. Each camera is reasonable resolution (and cheap), the whole thing has very high resolution.
No need to steer any motors. Stitching together the images in the camera might save data rates, better quality and greater data compression if stitched first.
