6 looks fake though.
WARK!

Wow!
Lovely images 
None of it looks like it can be real...
...but I guess that's because it is all quite alien, and surreal, to these earthbound eyes :-)

Coincidentally NASA's Cassini imaging team lead, Dr. Carolyn Porco was on the BBC's Stargazing Live recently, talking about some of these images among other things. She started out as a member of the Voyager imaging team where the sensors of the day had only 1 Megapixel (and that would have been top of the range, thinking back to my time working on CCD cameras in the late '90s).
It's interesting to reflect that the state of the art instrumentation that's sent up with these long range missions is obsolete by the time it reaches its target.

I did a bit more reading, my curiosity piqued. Voyager's main visible light cameras were Vidicons, i.e. analogue devices of the type that used to be fitted to video cameras, with their output subsequently digitised at a resolution of 800 x 800 pixels. At the time Voyager was launched, CCDs were tiny and I doubt they would have been reliable enough.
The Instrument Information page at SETI has more data for the terminally curious.
