Google gets imagery from a number of different sources, mostly commercial ones (which they have to pay for.) As a result, they might not use the highest resolution imagery available for a given area, depending on who the source is.
Much of the imagery used to be government low resolution, which is the greenish-looking out-of focus stuff. However, they are in the process of updating a lot of their imagery from commercial sources, like Europa and TerraMetrics. But - they have to pay for it.. If you scroll across the globe, you'll see the credits for the supplier of the imagery on your screen at the bottom. When you're overlapping, you'll see both.
