I’ve not seen evidence of a single decent camera on the craft.

Quite disappointing.

That was my complaint with the otherwise amazingly cool little helicopter they’ve been flying around on Mars: no video! Its only camera is a navigation camera with a low frame rate. So all we’re getting are basically still images.

How can you go to all that trouble to fly a friggin’ helicopter around on Mars and not equip it with a video camera? It’s mind boggling.

I guess it’s about prioritizing mission critical items within weight limitations, but still...
