Has anyone any idea what kind of imaging system is being proposed for the MSL? Would it be the same or simiilar to the MER's, or as improved as the MER pancams are to those that were used on Pathfinder?
With a nuclear power source for the rover, and hopefully the mars telecoms orbiter in place the data rate and data volume could be phenomenal |

Not entirely accurate is it? If the fixed focus stays - then one eye will be about 3.75x the res of Pancam, the other one, about 1.25x Pancam. But the more I think about it - the more the zoom descope hurts.
