those features will be out on ipad 3 lol. I thought the camera wasn't all that bad, should of been the same as the iphone 4. Taking pictures could of been nicer, but I video recording was pretty good.

When I want to take pictures I'm going to take them with something comfortable in taking pictures to begin with. Who wants to hold an iPad up to take a picture?
It would only make sense to me to use my iPhone 4 (which takes the best pics of any smartphone out there) or my Canon Rebel t2i .. two devices designed/properly used to take pictures.
A tablet is not something that should logically be used to take pictures.
To the OP and those complaining about camera quality- I'm sorry you were disappointed. However, you were not disappointed by Apple, but by your own unrealistic expectations. As it has been said a number of times in this thread alone, the cameras are primarily for Facetime and nothing more.
Yep, don't blame Apple. Blame yourself for having the unrealistic expectation that the camera wouldn't be garbage
Or you could actually pay attention to what he said and understand that the only reason the cameras exist is for Facetime. If they had wanted to add cameras that were actually for taking pictures, they would have. But they didn't, because that's not what they're intended for.
If not intended for pics or videos, then why have a camera app? Why not just facetime?
I've tried a few scanner apps on ipad 2 (that work well on iphone) and the ipad camera isn't really useful for that purpose. Though the ipad does create a lot of shadow given its size..a flash would be preferable.
It isn't the sensor, its the fact that you're trying to use a 10 inch tablet as a camera. I have a fourth generation iPod Touch and it scans documents just as well as the iPhone 4 did.
As for your first question: If they didn't, you'd be on here *****ing that there wasn't a camera app included. Its a no-win situation for them. (and don't try and say 'well they should have just included the iPhone's camera, because we know for a FACT that the case is too thin to support it)
I see we're still trying to rationalize bottom of the barrel cameras. No one is suggesting you take your ipad on a photo shoot.
People have tried to chime in on how better quality cameras could be used. Or see what kind of apps devs can develop on the ipad for them. But you all insist on worrying about what you would look like taking a pic. Pretty stupid..
I have to say that reading the posts a few people seem to forget that it's a forum and it's just an opinion. It's one which everyone has a right to have and express. This doesn't change the actual device, just because Tom says device A's camera sucks doesn't mean they suck it just means they suck to Tom. So I think it's good that the OP figured it out before he bought it because it means one less bad critic and one more available device for someone who really wants it.
The problem I also see is the idea that the iPad is a big iPod Touch or a big iPhone. They do overlap and do look alike but they have differen pros and cons as well as different uses. I do have to say I'm an amateur photographer with a Nikon DSLR I think I've taken a handful of pictures with my iPhone. I don't care how good it is, and if it now has flash, the zoom is garbage. So I use my DSLR or my P&S if it's a quick shot. If it's in the minute and quality really doesn't matter I'll take out the iPhone. I think it's a mistake to expect to use the iPad especially if you already have a cameraphone which is smaller and lighter.
