    As any of you who check the internet are/will be aware, the Curiosity successfully touched down on Mars tonight following a pretty impressive and ambitious landing. Overall it's an amazing feat of engineering, and I absolutely cannot wait to see some of the images and video it will be sending back.

    Thoughts?

    i wonder what kinda camera they ended up putting in there, it's too bad the 3D camera didn't work out.

    Is that why he bought 50 Epics! To tare them apart for space lol.

    Hell if I know but it would be cool if Red had something to do with it.

    There are 17 cameras on Curiosity. Dalsa involved.

    Red cameras do have a JPL connection.
