Yes, I think the casual "basically a cell-phone camera" comment you made, way above, has been taken to mean "it's a POS".

But, as you have made clear, you were just making a statement about the combination of wide field-of-view (i.e., the optics) and the number of pixels, which both figure in to resolution. (By contrast with the New Horizons LORRI instrument, which had a very narrow FOV, because they did not approach Pluto closely.)

If one takes a breath and re-reads what you wrote, this meaning is evident. On the other hand, it's very easy to mis-interpret what you wrote.
