Actually its not that bad at all (not as a primary camera obviously, because well, that would be stupid), see for yourself:

pictures: if all you're using it for is posting stuff to facebook / twitter. useable
video: seems pretty equivalent to the iphone 4. (though the iphone 4 seems to have a warmer tint to the color)
the ONLY thing that bugs me is the lack of autofocus.

At an Apple store I tried out the camera and was surprised it wasn't too bad. It gives you want you need but not what you want. 😉

As this subject has been beaten half to death a number of times already, I'll try not to dwell.
The iPad is quite a bit to large to use as the "camera in your pocket". (unless you have HUGE pockets) Therefore Apple saw little value in putting super-good cameras in it. Good enough for video and video chats, but that's about it.
Since almost everyone with an iPad 2 will already have a smartphone with a great camera, and since that smartphone is pocketable and you don't look dorky using it to take pics, the video-quality cameras in the iPad 2 are (in most practical applications) a non-issue IMHO.
As always, YMMV.

I agree 100%. Better camera's also equals a more expensive product. I'm my opinion, 499$ is the right price point.
