iPad camera

I'm fairly serious about photography and most of the time use a DSLR and sometimes a small Sony but at Easter we went to a campsite at Arisaig on the west coast and I left the DSLR at home. I took a few shots with the Sony HX-20V but also tried for the first time the camera in a newly acquired iPAD Air. I was absolutely stunned by the quality such a tiny lens and the processing software can produce.

Shame about the lens flare/reflection, but the dynamic range is pretty good considering the conditions.

I like my ipad for souvenir shots etc, I haven't mastered it sufficiently to do anything other than send the photo on by email or crop it. I understand the zoom function is just above 0 so I do find it's like using the old cameras where you had to stand at just the right spot.

Please post if you know/find out more than I have. Thanks

 

I'm afraid most of the photos I post in the forum are taken with the iPad... Laziness on my part, but it is so easy if you are going to be posting the photo on t'internet.

I find that it is good with low light levels, especially normal "house" lights at night

Neither are particularly good photos, (we find it helpful to remember which tree shape works best!) but you can see how the colours are registering, despite the v low light levels, as shown by the burn-out around the candles and tree-lights.
