Chinese don't want us to know how good their resolution is. At the same time, they wouldn't want to be embarrassed if the "floating object" is not the wreckage. I think they know this is it and the poor photo is a subtle disclosure.

No doubt.
I heard a few people on TV, though, saying that something that size is too big to come from the plane. Which made me wonder where the size estimate came from.
U.S. investigators suspect that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stayed in the air for about four hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, according to two people familiar with the details, raising the possibility that the plane could have flown on for hundreds of additional miles under conditions that remain murky.
Aviation investigators and national security officials believe the plane flew for a total of five hours based on data automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from the Boeing Co. 777s engines as part of a routine maintenance and monitoring program.
