An iPad with the HiLO Lens (a right angle lens for iPhone) would allow you to “shoot from the hip” which might be a lot cooler.

I was at a jr. fencing meet a few weeks ago, and saw 3 parents using iPads to record video of their kids. Odd? Yes. But they had the pads with them, and not a dedicated video camera.

This sounds like a comment made by some guy a few years ago who didn’t believe cameras on phones would replace “real” cameras anytime soon either…

We used the iPad 2 to shoot all of our coverage of CES in January (you can see a full video of our kit here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN8SoL25190) and it was a great experience.

We had a custom mount so we could secure the iPad to a tripod, and the increased portability was really nice. As others have mentioned, the larger screen made it REALLY easy to make sure you were getting the best shot.

The improved sensor on the new iPad will only make this a better experience, too.

New more powerful editing software like Avid Studio on iPad really makes it fun and easy to edit and share videos.

That’s a really REALLY naive assumption Kevin. I know many semi-pro photographers that demand single-pixel accuracy from their photo editing, and a fat fingertip on a high PPI screen doesn’t do that.

As for video, recording an hour-long 1080p stream requires some serious CPU power to render and edit. Unless you’re shooting 5 minute clips or less, I don’t see slates replacing camcorders any time soon.

Ever been to a little place called “Disney World?” Was there a Christmas and saw dozens of silly parents running around taking photos and video with iPad 2s. They looked incredibly silly.

Not sure about taking pictures – taking pictures usually needs to be started quickly and finished soon afterwards, so iPhone + Photo Stream into the iPad’s iPhoto will probably work better – but I certainly see the new iPad being used for video. Video capture actually probably benefits from the iPad’s bigger screen.

Ahem… “My iPad 3 drives on April 2″ …?

Should read: “arrives”, FedEx/TNT permitting, of course.
