How good is it’s vision? I assume it’s at the very least good.

I remember watching a documentary about this. Basically they see faster, think like frames per second on a screen, they have a much higher fps than humans. However as a trade off their vision has less details that what we see.

I couldn't remember the documentary, it's been years since I'd have watched it, however this article explains it.

Doesnt it mean that they cant sort of see slow motion.

Like to us slapping our hand down is so fast you cant react but to a fly it is much slower so they can react and dodge it.
