But the camera technology we have today was likely designed 9 years ago. The Astrophysics community (and the military) usually gets it first.
Commerical camera sensors are much more price sensitive.
On the other hand, the sensors on the probe needs to withstand very harsh environment, constantly being bombarded by high energy particles.
