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 |

Would it be possible in a future rover to use single shot color imagers for the nav and haz cams? They're not scientific instruments per se, so there wouldn't be much of a penalty.
