IMO, only the 3GS and 4 have good quality cameras. The Streak, Xoom and even Playbook have so-so quality cameras only. My Venue also have subpar camera... full of artifacts despite having 8MP.

So, what's next? Buy a REAL camera... trying to find one with built-in Wifi or Bluetooth for complete wireless transfer.

The current 0.7MP camera is even worse than those el-cheapo RM 20 webcam sold at LYP.

Put the camera quality aside, look at other strengths of the iPad, even the wide range of apps are pretty much good enough. biggrin.gif

A good camera will help a lot... for example, I'm using JotNot on my 3GS to capture docs - cheques, receipts and some sensitive docs to store on the phone before uploading to Dropbox as backup. With crappy camera, the final image will either is blur or simply useless for archiving purposes.

You look idiot if you using that big ipad to take picture.  biggrin.gif

I even saw some guy using galaxy 7' to take picture in motorshow. He focus on the model from down up and everybody from behind saw what he taken. Laugh like hell. tongue.gif

I don't think it is weird... I was using a 5" Dell Streak to snap photos during the Motor Show as well... the extra space allow touch to focus functionality.
