The iPad as a camera feels unwieldy.  It is a dense object, and is hard to
hold up.  Same for reading in bed.

On the other hand, as a face-time or Skype instrument, it is superb.   We
use it often to Skype Grandkids in far places, and  Daughter Ilsa in
Ireland, Sister Anne in Japan.  It does great.
