Who said people wouldn't use the iPad as a camera?

On our way to Sydney we were talking about the new iPad and how it would have a good camera. I made a comment that it didn't really matter as it is only useful for Skype and FaceTime as no one would actually use an iPad as a camera. The next day at the wedding in Sydney the lady sitting in front of me at the church was taking photos throughout the ceremony with her iPad.

Sharon Shannon in Australia

I was lucky to be in Adelaide during the summer months where there are a number of festivals and events over the space a few weeks. One festival being WOMAD - World of Music, Arts and Dance. A wide variety of musical acts from all over the world. We managed to catch Sharon Shannon and her band who were headlining one of the stages.

Wedding Car Combi

Derek and Madeline had quite an unusual wedding car, it was a rather luxurious Volkswagen Combi. Big enough to take all of the wedding party and an eski (Australia word for an ice box) to store some drinks.

Sydney Harbor Cruise

We were in Sydney for a friend wedding and had a few days to look around. It was my first time there so I was happy to do some sight seeing. We took a boat cruise around Sydney Harbor that reminded me of a similar cruise that I did in Hong Kong where people were almost fighting over floor space to take photos.
This guy had 4 cameras, 2 of which for DSLR and he was taking photos of everything! It was even funnier when his friends would get him to take photos of them so he'd be using their camera while he had his 4 cameras hanging off his Cannon jacket.
