I have a simple HTML document with an image and a canvas element. The src image is just a high quality image found on the Internet, just to illustrate my point. When I try to draw an image on the canvas, the resulting image of the canvas is very uneven and of poor quality. I can’t understand why. Similar questions were asked here, but I could not find an answer that seemed to solve the problem. If someone finds another post with a working answer, please let me know. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is the JSfiddle with the code:

HTML:
<p>the original image:</p>
<img id="img_cam" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/k8IX2Mkf0Jo/U4ze2gNn7CI/AAAAAAAA7xg/iKxa6bYITDs/s0/HOT+Balloon+Trip_Ultra+HD.jpg" width="400">
<p>the canvas with drawn image:</p>
<canvas id="imgcanvas" width="400"></canvas>
JavaScript:
var canvas = document.getElementById("imgcanvas");
var img_can = document.getElementById("img_cam");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var imgWidth = img_can.width;
var imgHeight = img_can.height;
canvas.width = imgWidth;
canvas.height = imgHeight;
ctx.drawImage(img_can, 0, 0, imgWidth, imgHeight);
