I believe it takes time for the pics and videos to process from Mars. So far
there are a couple of photos taken from the rover.  The first was black and
white but that was just an engineering low-quality cam.  It has a 4K camera
or something I believe to capture high-res stuff.  They have since released a
few more photos, as well as a photo of the descent on Mars.  There should be
a video of the entire landing soon - it just takes a while for it to arrive
from Mars (or so I have read).  Fingers crossed we see some higher quality
images and videos soon!!
