Good to hear that the good camera is yet to be deployed..
I hope we are going to see some good high res pictures though im sick of seeing crappy pics that look like they were taken on an old cell phone theirs no excuse for it today,id also like to see a true colour picture and not tinted like previous mars pictures,anybody seen that pic with the colour coded dial in the picture which proves its been tinted red? what the heck is that about,then later they edited out the colour coder so theirs nothing to correct the colour ,stuff like that makes me wonder what nasas intentions are.

It is like saying; oh in the morning my car only uses half of its engine. I can not expect it to use the entire engine just 4 minutes into startup.
So I don't think it is reasonable to think that these hi-res cameras on the mast or on the robotic arm would be available for use four minutes after landing. they are probably still folded away.

You are talking about the entire startup of the rover.
I am saying that there is a low-res camera in the beginning for a reason.
If they placed a high-res camera where the low-res is, we would have better picture in the beginning. They chose not to for different reasons.
