I cooked a nice meal today of chicken breast, mashed potatoes and gravy and broccoli. I decided that I needed a photo and that I would try my ipad and see what happens. It is only 5 mp. The lighting was tough. I got an image that wasn't too good. On closer inspection, it was relatively sharp. That is good. I don't carry the ipad with me all the time like you would a Samsung 5, so trying to get a lot out of the camera is not something I would spend a lot of time on. The ipad's best use is Facetime with our grandson.
