Hey is the iPad 2 front camera better than new iPad!!!! I compared my new iPad with my sis iPad 2 front camera and the iPad 2 front camera has better color, contrast and is more clear!!! Is this okay or should I get my ipad's front camera checked!! The difference can be clearly seen!!!

The iPad 2 cameras are both less that 1 megapixel...the 3 should be much better

Here's what they say on the cameras, I hope someone else will chime in with the specs for both cameras on the 3

5-megapixel iSight camera
Autofocus
Tap to focus
Face detection in still images
Video recording, HD (1080p) up to 30 frames per second with audio
Video stabilization
FaceTime camera with VGA-quality photos and video at up to 30 frames per second
Photo and video geotagging

One thing to bear in mind is that you are viewing the image on a much higher resolution screen. That could make a difference. Also, megapixels are not everything. Light levels make a big difference. I have taken better pictures with my iPad 2 camera than I have with my wife's Blackberry Playbook, yet the Playbook supposedly has a far superior camera.

I'm no expert on this subject, but I happen to know that some members are so hopefully they'll join in. (scifan/twerppoet? Are you reading this?)
