The XMM-Newton observatory has the largest collecting area flown so far for an X-ray imaging system, resulting in a very high sensitivity over a broad spectral range. In order to exploit fully these performances, a very accurate calibration of the XMM-Newton instruments is required, and has led to an extensive ground and flight calibration program. We report here on the current status of the EPIC/MOS cameras calibrations, highlighting areas for which a reasonably good accuracy has been achieved, and noting points where further work is needed.
