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].
