What Is the Resolution of the Human Eye?

Gizmodo- The new iPhone camera is 8-megapixels. Meanwhile, Canon is reportedly testing a new DSLR with 75-megapixels. But how many megapixels is the human eye? That is, how many megapixels would an image the size of your field of vision need to be to look normal?

Also, like many of today's cameras, it's not about the megapixels, but about the filter. Obviously our eyes are really good at that though. Plus we don't have zoom capabilities like a camera, so we can't really maximize all those pixels.
