The low resolution and fuzz is also because they still have the lens caps on - they are of course transparent lens caps in case the explosive bolts that will release them fail. Redundancy!

This is one of the cooler things that I learned today. Could they go even further: make the caps themselves lenses+filters. Take photos. And then blow them off for new photos.
