No I was expecting to see cameras on it whilst landing .
Either that or A herd Wilderbeast sweeping majestically past its window :emoticon-0126-nerd:

Considering that Perseverance was decelerating from 12000MPH to 0 in about 15 minutes, 127 million miles away, I think your expectations may have been a little high.

To think that picture was from a minimum of over 34 million miles away ... its mind blowing it really is , I really hope that I am still around as and when the first men go back to the moon and especially mars , the whole world I imagine will be watching and the technology to watch it will be amazing

The videos are coming out over the weekend , unlike still photos it takes some time to decompress and re order them accordingly to make it something that is understandable , after all its a 14 minute journey for every byte of footage to get back to earth

I cant wait to see them personally
 
obviously a fake photo , we all know the genuine ones from the rover are black and white right now until the systems all get booted up properly
