Hijacking top comment.
These are not specially released images drip fed to the public. There is a firehose of images, raws, here https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/ over a million of them.

There are processed images, 360 deg pictures and videos, composites and mosaics. https://science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-2020-perseverance/

So much stuff from Percy. its got a dozen cameras.

Curiosity is also sending images, its got a catalogue of 780,000 raw images. As is MRO and other platforms.

You know what? It's fine. I didn't have anything better to do with my time than sit here and look at 5,786 pages of Mars pictures

That’s just from the rover! Then when you’re done you graduate to looking through the 780,000 Curiosity has so graciously given us 😊

Thanks for the effort and for promoting science, education and facts. But you might be overshadoved. ...There are people from Nevada here.
