What type of sensors or cameras does the Odyssey have?

A thermal imaging camera, a gamma ray spectrometer, a radiation sensor, and a neutron detector.

If you've seen the Curiosity rover videos you will see that they don't use the airbag system but in other videos they do why is that so?

That is because Curiosity never actually used the airbag system for the entry,descent,landing sequence.Curiosity was heavier than the other rovers.The airbag system couldn't possibly be used for Curiosity due to it's weight.
