| Updated Google Earth imagery makes 3D models look better |
In my opinion it is an ideal imagery update, for several reasons:
1) Color correction. The color is beautiful and true to life. It looks like you are really there. My own models look much better as a result of this new backdrop.
2) Clarity. The imagery is fairly sharp.
3) Angle. These pictures were taken for the most part from a straight-down point of view. This helps in making the models and creating a realistic atmosphere.
4) Consistency. Covering a large area (I haven't found the edges yet) this new imagery is seamless and again, helps to make the area look very real.

Hi Zoungy,
if you like to know where the edges are, you should have a look at this post:

And download the KML which shows all new image areas on the world.
Thanks Tobi!
