Re: [iPad] iPad 2 still camera resolution?

 

The specs for the iPad's rear-facing camera only lists on number: 720p. That should mean 1280 x 720, which gives a megapixel figure of 0.92, clearly useless for stills. However, flip over to the iPod Touch camera specs and we see the following: "HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio; still photos (960 x 720) with back camera." Yes, the Touch shoots stills at a lower resolution than video, just shy of 7 megapixels. This is most likely because the wide-screen movie format is squared-off to shoot stills.

Anyone able to find out what the rear still camera resolution is? I'm
hoping that it is better than the crap sub-1MP resolution of the iPod
Touch 4.
