Why does it even matter to a "professional" photographer? You just posted you are getting a Canon 5D. Something tells me you'd be using that more than the iPad camera.
ahha Well it sure made me not interested in the iPad 2.
+1 for researching me.

It feels like this last week or so has been a roller coaster of hype for the iPad 2
Higher res screen, then that was dismissed
Multi touch gestures, then that was dismissed as a test
Now we are on the slippery slope back to reality.
iPod 4th gen equivalent cameras, USB ( eu law says we need USB), slight CPU boost, possibly dual core, sd card reader. That'll be it this year in my opinion
It would seem at least 1 professional photorapher wouldwho want to take pictures with the ipad?
No1.
Surely, that's a joke.The logic behind your Touch only having a 1MP camera is so if you want better you buy the more expensive iPhone4![]()
I'm speechless...
Are they for real?????

I do not understand the big deal. Who is really going to use an iPad for a camera.
Some people might be tempted to mount the iPad on a tripod and shoot a VIDEO of their family's Christmas party,.
Some people might be tempted to mount the iPad on a tripod and shoot a VIDEO of their family's Christmas party, child's birthday or just an evening with friends. And that person might be more than tempted to edit the entire thing with an iMovie edition for the iPad and then upload it to some free web space (also known as "cloud service") to share it with everybody.
THIS is where a low quality 1MP camera quickly becomes a big deal, and this is what you will actually see people doing with an iPad with a built-in rear camera. Photos are sooo last century. It's all about VIDEO.
Seriously, that argument is getting way too old.I think some people here are missing the point of the iPad cameras. (including the OP)
a. If you want high quality photos, buy yourself a proper digital camera. Apple has no obligations to cater for the camera market. If they were, they'd make cameras.
b. You can't take photos properly with a 10" device.
c. Think how Apple are pushing facetime. It'll be more for that so people can show images from behind the iPad rather than turning it around.
d. Anyone expecting a 5MP+ camera in the iPad (like the double res screen) is in lah-lah land. Better to expect little and wait for the surprises Apple will bring to the iPad 2. You won't be as disappointed.
According to your logic, wouldn't it suffice just to include a 0.1-megapixel camera? I mean, why waste loads of money on a 1-megapixel camera?
Why, is FaceTime not possible with a 0.1-megapixel camera?1) Facetime
2) Facetime
3) Facetime
4) All of the above
Why, is FaceTime not possible with a 0.1-megapixel camera?
As colmaclean said, it's a communication/multimedia/business device. Serious photographers would get a decent SLR camera. Even so, amateur photographers could buy a compact for pennies and still get better photos. The 10" frame would make your hands shake like hell.Seriously, that argument is getting way too old.

Finally, we're just a millimeter away from getting to my point:It's enough if you want to conference with a chess board.
Why, iPod touch isn't???If anyone brings up "why does the iPhone 4 have 5MP then?". For one, it's a camera sized object.
Would you not prefer to have an even clearer FaceTime with, say, 3-megapixel camera versus 0.1-megapixel "chessboard"?
I think you need to read a bit more about how pixels work.Finally, we're just a millimeter away from getting to my point:

Target audience is younger children/adults. None of them are pro photographers. Last thing they're worried about is picture quality.Why, iPod touch isn't???
