I understand that some people aren't happy with the quality of the cameras. So let me just ask another question, if the cameras were alot better at the cost of an extra 100 bucks would any of you consider it?

I think people view it as expensive because they lump it in with netbooks which cost 199 and 299. I don't think it's expensive at all. If you look at other things that are interests there are alot that are way more expensive. It is hard to find a good DSLR for the same price. If you buy used gear or old models then sure but at that point it's not really comparable. I have friends who buy $1400 lenses all the time. My hobby is modifying cars, last year modifications and maintenance together I spent over 15K. So when you really look at it I find it to be a very reasonable price.
I think if I had to substitute crappy cameras for a more affordable price i would. People right now talk about the iPad being expensive, and I think with iP4 level cameras the price would be significantly higher.
Besides, Apple has to leave something for iPad 3, if they give us everything now no one will want the next gen. At the moment there is only so much they can give us. Its a great device sure, but its not an all-in-one, solve every problem device
Maybe you'd be better off with a FRIGGING CAMERA that does what you want rather than trying to make one device be the jack of all trades. A jack of all trades is a master of none. It should be all about using the right tool for the job. An iPad should not be the first tool of choice for someone wanting to be serious about taking good pictures or video. That's what cameras are for.

Here is what would seal the deal for me.
- 1080p recording at 30fps (and hopefully 60fps, but that's probably not going to happen for a few years.
- At least a 5MP camera. I would actually like something around 6MP with better HDR capability and a few more manual controls, like ISO and aperture adjustments.
- Retina display.
- 128Gigs of Memory.
