The magnification of this thing over the Hubble is damn impressive.

Sal Ammoniac:
Amazing how many galaxies are visible in this image!

BrianHG:
The full res images linked above are false, low-res and the MIRI ones.  This is the true Webb NIRCam image link where you get the true full res:

So be warned, it's 20mb.

I can only speculate at the field of vision in the NIRI cam.  Probably smaller than a pin head with an outstretched arm.  Hubble images are, supposedly, the size of half a thumb nail at arm's length.
