These are images from Orion's navigation cameras. They're great for getting your bearings, but they're not the top tier surface imaging cameras such as those used on the LRO.

If you want something for figuring out your vehicle's orientation and position in space, that's exactly what you want. Now, I agree that the cameras onboard aren't the best, but this is a technology demonstrator mission, not a "lets map the moon in 12K sharp quality" mission.
