The ITS movie is interesting:

The pixelization gets worse the closer the probe gets to the comet (?)
Any possible explanation?

It is possible they switched cameras to one on the impact module?
If not, the image is clearly processed, and it is possible that to enhance
the 'zoom in' effect they only used part of the picture in the last frames.
I dunno if there was a camera on that copper module...
