Hey guys, this is a quick test video I filmed using my new iPad. I'm pretty impressed with the HD quality.

I think he took the video with his new iPad. Good video

Correct. I filmed it with my new iPad, uploaded it to YouTube and posted the video here.

Looks pretty good to me. I seem to find with my iPad that the video in good light seems as good as my iPhone 4s but in low light it's grainy and my iPhone isn't as grainy.

Sent from my iPad 3

You took a 1080p video, and wanted to demonstrate to us by uploading it in 720p? lol upload it in 1080p!!

I think it takes really good usable video and pics!

I agree, the quality of pics and video is quite decent especially the 8mb camera, the grandkids had a bit of fun playing with the Photo-Booth app when they popped over the weekend, and a test video I did of them looked pretty good. However, for mainstream pic taking and for shooting general video's I think I'll stick with my normal digital camera and HD camcorder, just a bit easier to carry..lol and obviously designed for the job, but I agree the iPad3 camera's are not bad at all, and some good results can be achieved... only snag, is the iPad does'nt exactly go in your pocket too easy..lol

My digital camera and HD camcorder don't fit in my pocket either...

Obviously though, the iPad wouldn't be my first choice, but I am more likely to have it with me, so it is nice to have HD recording capability for those spur of the moment things that you hadn't preplanned for and brought the better equipment along.

@Yakuzagang5 I uploaded it to YouTube right from my iPad but didn't see the 1080p option, just 720p HD. Do you know how to do it? I'm guessing you have to shoot it to the computer first and upload from there.

I have a messenger bag made for mini laptops that fit my iPad perfectly and I bring mine everywhere. Never know when it will come in handy.

The camera that came with iPad is very primitive. There is nothing to play with other than pressing the shutter. I bought a bunch of camera apps and toyed with them with fairly good results. Although the quality couldn't quite match the output of my now rarely used SLR, but they come awfully close.

The ability for me to instantly edit the photos is a huge plus. I read somewhere that the photos taken with smart devices are growing at over 30% annually while that of single function digital camera staying flat. That is also why Kodak and Fuji stock prices have been dead in the water for being one-trick-pony.

The new ipad, with its more powerful featured ability with editing/sharing/posting ability, could only speed up this trend.

Netbook cases work great for the iPad.

Nice to run into a fellow Miamian! That A380 flies in and out daily and still draws a crowd every time. It's an impressive aircraft. I wanted to test out the 1080p video quality but apparently you can't upload 1080p to YouTube from the iPad, you have to transfer the clip to your mac and upload it from there which kinda sucks. So that video is actually 720p.

Yeah ! Seriously !! How did he get in to the Airport Grounds ?? is it that Easy to get on to the Runway ! Waoh ! I didn't know that !!

Love the camera in the new iPad... hate the mic and sound quality.

It's not easy, and I do work there.
