What to Expect When Curiosity Starts Snapping Pictures (nasa.gov)

the best camera is the one you have with you

So...only the Hazard Cameras are active, the rest are closed until Curiosity is finished with self-tests?

They should put a terabyte of solid storage on the orbiter(s) and just have it send stuff from the surface non-stop and then stream back to earth so there's zero downtime in the signals...

But I guess once you've seen a mars rock in highdef, for the untrained they are all mostly the same... interest will be sadly waining after a month.
