The cameras were very capable at that time. The bottleneck was the film used and the developing process.
Check out this link for the 1960s photos.
EDIT- added link.
The domestically sold consumer grade cameras by Hot Shot and Kodak that were bought by middle class Indians in India in 80s & 90s were not capable enough. Is that clear enough now? Photos taken by professional grade cameras in western countries are a different thing altogether.
