iPad2's Camera wasn't meant to do hardcore photography.... The only thing i like about Apple is MacOS, hw is not really good, coz will only update 1-2 times per year. and, the selling point of iPad2 is:
1. allowing non-ipad user to get a better feel of iPad2, before the major upgrade kicks in (well, year to wait)
2. Its the Photography sw that comes with iPad2 is the selling point, the eyes candy thingy.....
3. Facetime, no need to say la.... what you see in Ads maybe not the facetime itself, *VIDEO* perhaps tongue.gif
4. Hardcore tablet users might not want to get this because, as usual, iOS is meant for person that want it as it is... no need much customization

i just ordered 1 from Apple, but only for my wife's BD present.

As for me, smile.gif Android of coz.... i prefer the expandability of an OS, dont like tied to certain constraint... for e.g.
- Hey, i love to have the file.. can you send it to me?
- Well, OK.....
- Can you get a PC
- Er...... Sure (in my mind, what is that for??)
- Do you have iTunes installed?
- MCH~~~~~

Apple purposely put lousy back camera into iPad 2 ; so when they put a better camera into iPad 3 , they'll have something to shout about to make u want to upgrade!
This is smart marketing!

What specs do u mean?

Yes, the technology is obviously there, but it lies on whether the camera manufacturer for Apple can produce it or not.. Why are you comparing other companies tech? They've have different camera manufacturers obviously... Even the new thinner Galaxy Tab being thinner than iPad have much better camera, why? cause samsung has very good R&D and has the tech to manufacture their own camera sensors...

Maybe that's one of the reasons Apple ditched their former sensor manufacturer and went to Sony instead?

Btw, the 1.3mm diff makes a big difference... If iPad were like iPhone4 (9.3mm), they would be able to do so I guess (depending whether they want it or not)...

Erm, Facetime uses front camera, won't be 5MP anyhow... Besides that, take note that taking VIDEO and taking PHOTOS are two different functions... It doesn't mean that a 5MP camera takes video at 5MP @.@.... 5MP resolution let's say 25:20 ratio is 2500x2000.. Wouldn't that be 'Super' Full HD dy?

Specs for ipad2 ler..

I'm comparing ipad2 with playbook because they are both tablets, you see cool2.gif They are both slim enough to be called slim, only 1.3mm difference, that is lesser than in between this double (i) put together --> ii , but still they (RIM) managed to get a whole lot better pixel camera output.. please also note that their launch price is about the same too! *shocked* drool.gif

You said that it is impossible for apple to put 5mp sensors as they are too thin.. IMHO, it is very much possible!~

My assumption stays, they just don't want to, as yet..

Later i'll check on the exact pixel of the pics taken by the back camera.. if it is 1280 x 720, it is 0.92mp.. if it is 960 x 720, it is 0.7mp..

Urmm, taking video in apple seems like taking pictures all the way.. i mean, apple 'play' the pictures for it to be a movie.. its all about frames and fps..

lets us all pray that in the next ipad, it will be greater than current 5mp (other manufacturer of tablets) pics..

and urmm... facetime can use both camera.. but 1 at a time.. whistling.gif

I recommend Nikon P300 for under RM1000. Great camera.

This camera is just launch. Waiting for preview and see how is the picture quality. Owning a nikon camera is my dream. But most of their compact camera is not that good spec. But DSLR is good.

I m eying on panasonic LX5 to upgrade. brows.gif

With the specs being revealed, I'm sure you guys are fully aware of the camera before even thinking of purchasing it. Plus, the 100 of times you guys went to the store and tested out the device, would have given you an idea of what kind of camera you're getting with your iPad 2. Camera was never the shout out feature of iPad 2.
