We're so not accustomed to moon pictures taken with "normal" cameras. These almost look like 3D renders to me, it's incredible

Why is normal in quotes? Do you mean visible light vs filtered monochrome with false-color outputs or infrared/radio/x-ray like some other telescopes use? Would that be the abnormal you are referring? The Apollo images were taken with Hasselblad film cameras that were "normal" cameras[0].

I think they mean "consumer" or "off the shelf" as opposed to "custom build for the mission", we've seen iPhone and GoPro photos

		What's custom built? They're using stock Nikon bodies, and as you've said iPhone and GoPros. Where's the confusion?

They shot these pictures using the Nikon D5, Z9, as well as iPhone and GoPro.

		I understand what cameras were used. I'm asking why normal was in quotes. What else would there have been?

		I am curious to see how being namedropped by NASA affects the sales of these cameras. It's probably not as much as I am imagining but still not an insignificant number. Probably less than Nutella that accidentally flew off the shelf live on stream straight across the shot
