A 20.8 megapixel 5568 x 3712 pixels is not a shitty image. When we get to see those images, they will be much better than the GoPro images we're seeing

They also have a 46 megapixel Nikon Z9 which they don't appear to have used for some odd reason...
I found one taken with Z9: https://images.nasa.gov/details/art002e009301

There are some very bright noise pixels on the dark area, which is different from the noise in similar photos taken with D5 (much darker and uniform).

A common error made with "pixel peeping" is to zoom to 1:1, which shows a smaller physical sensor area with higher megapixel cameras.

The trick is to zoom to the same percentage zoom and compare side-by-side.

I did spot a few "hot" pixels visible on the Moon, but those are easily fixed in post.

Some nice images with this resolution of the far side of the Moon have already been posted.
