Here's an interesting site I found:

Here's some interesting points:
- 74 megapixels to show detail at the limits of human visual acuity
- The eye is not a single frame snapshot camera. It is more like a video stream
- 576 megapixels - the full angle of human vision would require even more megapixels. This kind of image detail requires a large format camera to record.
- Its estimated that the dark adapted eye is to be about ISO 800
- The eye can see over a 10,000 range in contrast detection, but it depends on the scene brightness, with the range decreasing with lower contrast targets
- The range of the human eye is greater than any film or consumer digital camera.
- Aperture for human eye is f/3.5 when dark adapted
- Maximum aperture of 7mm, this implies about a 25mm focal length
