Judging by the video quality, I'm just going to assume NASA just used a giant catapult to fling a Nokia 3310 at the sun

I'm no expert, but I assume it's a highly specialized camera where the image quality wasn't the priority.

That's exactly what I said tho

Ah. I thought you meant the video quality was bad. But yea the space probe is probably indestructible
