Hah! Funny how everyone here seems to be thinking the same: They said something about "finally 4k moon rocket images" and the stuff we got in the news was like blurry 800x600 type with lots of JPEG artifacts and such.

Even the smallest resolution images I see in the link that the parent edited into their comment have better quality than what news outlets posted.

I want TIFFs that takes ages to download and I need to scroll around in/zoom out on!

They will be posted when they get them. Right now, NASA doesn't have them because they're still on the SD cards in the capsule (probably been copied to their PCDs too). There's not a lot of bandwidth to be pushing large RAW files. They have to share the bandwidth with all of the telemetry and comms. They sent some small files down just to make some PR announcements and tease what will be coming.
