The old photos (daguerreotypes and such) are as sharp or sharper than today's photos.

Yup.. don't be fooled by what you see online. Those photos are sharp. They are also tattered and torn. I have seen lots of actual daguerreotypes and they are amazing.

I can only suggest that you get an opportunity to view a well-preserved daguerreotype that was made sometime around 1850 or so... you will be amazed.
