Do we have any amazing pictures from it?

  Half of the pictures on the NASA website are rendered mockups. I don't know which ones are real anymore.

    They always write in the image description if it is an illustration or not. Or use the raw image library https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/ https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/

  Ingenuity only has one downward facing color camera and b/w nav cam. None of them are particularly amazing but its just a tech demo. You can see all the images here, https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/ https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/

    Seeing color pictures from another planet's surface is one of the things that always fills me with awe.

  Depends on your threshold for amazing. It's a lot of pictures of rocks since they're cameras for navigation. On the other hand they're aerial views of another planet taken by a helicopter during autonomous flight. One notable photo was on Ingenuity's third flight, where it happened to get the Perseverance rover and landing area together in one frame: https://mars.nasa.gov/resources/25862/ingenuity-spots-perseverance-from-the-air/ https://mars.nasa.gov/resources/25862/ingenuity-spots-persev... There is also the NASA blog just covering Ingenuity, which has some more notable photos along with explanations: https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/status/ https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/status/

  It could hover near the rover and take nice photos. But I'm sure NASA doesn't want to take a collision risk like that.

  Someone has used the low-FPS, downwards-pointing color camera plus photogrammetry to reconstruct the flight environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX89Y766D_M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX89Y766D_M
