If you're only after a camera you might as well just buy a camera, ipad has no unique use.

in my experience, despite any negative press they get, you can't go wrong with any apple product. tried them all and all excellent. just depends how big you want your ipad to be. not sure i'd spend £800 on a tablet, you're probably better off buying a normal ipad and then a really good camera but that's up to you, you might be minted.

I've had most ipads and have currently got the 12.9 and it is sensational. Clarity and sound are amazing but are both eclipsed by the its sheer operating speed. Brilliant to work with and a joy to watch sport on. Super-light and incredibly pleasing on the eye. Quite simply the best Apple product ever made. By a country mile.

Re ipad camera use, I'd worry about the practicalities of using the camera (eg do you need both hands to hold the ipad roughly steady?) but it depends what you want to film, I suppose. Like others have said, if you want a camera, buy a camera or use the one on your phone.
As @Johnny_Mustang says, for everything else, it's great. If I were buying my 12.9 anew, I'd go for the highest capacity (especially if you want to store your videos on it).# A word of caution: Apple is about to announce a new model. Or at least, them's the rumours so you might want to hold off a week or two then decide if you want the new ipad or look for discounts on the old one. |

The camera is no big deal just something that I read.
Is there a time Apple are not about to launch a new model? I'm just looking for a replacement for my windows laptop. Windows is boring nowadays imo. I have an iPhone and love it so buying a iPad Pro would be a treat for myself and free me from years of using windows OS. |

As for being minted far from it.
The way I see it is this: £800 cost 3 year investment 800/1095 = 73p a day. For the use it will get I'd say that's a bargain ![]() ![]() |

The secret of Apple's success: make the best product and charge like a wounded rhino. |

Lol. It is, however, hugely impractical as a camera because of its size, you can't exactly whip it out of your pocket. That said, I've never bought an iPad on the strength or weakness of the camera capabilities.

No need to spend £800, get one on ebay, or even cheaper on Gumtree. Been an iPad user since they were released, and only one I bought brand new was the first model. Would agree there is a price premium with apple products, but by buying second hand, you get a decent wedge off the RRP. People buy iPads, get them as gifts, and don't use them / like them so sell them on. I got my last iPad 12.9 pro (128gb) for £550 on ebay. Generally sell my on ebay after 2-3 years and buy second hand again, like the OP says, price per day / week / month is pretty good when you play the market. It's like buying a very good second hand car with good sell on.

the one's you find on ebay/gumtree usually come from the back of a lorry.

Not been my experience, would agree that Gumtree is more "dangerous" than ebay, but usually tell-tale signs that something is a bit off...for example price being too low. Common-sense goes a long way though when using ebay and gumtree.
