Things should be a lot clearer once they can process some images (current ones are raw only) and get some panoramas stitched together. I'd also be very interested to know if their science packages have picked up anthing interesting. Little bit of trivia I picked up earlier; Saturn is so far over the other side of the ecliptic that signals currently take 1hr 7mins to reach us. Well done ESA!
