The Square Kilometer Array will be operating at the same time with several new large optical, X-ray and Gamma-ray facilities currently under construction or planned. Fostering synergies in astrophysical research made across different spectral bands presents a compelling argument for designing the SKA such that it would offer imaging capabilities similar to those of other future telescopes. Imaging capabilities of the SKA are compared here with those of the major future astrophysical facilities.
