The First Photos Taken with Apple's New iPad

The Vietnamese source that obtained one of the first Retina display iPads is dishing around photos taken with the tablet’s five megapixel rear camera, following an unboxing and a benchmark.

After unboxing and assessing the new iPad’s processing capabilities, Vietnamese site Tinhte.vn proceeded with tests on the tablet’s rear camera, which Apple boosted to 5 megapixels (from 1 megapixel in the iPad 2). The camera module also uses some advanced optics that go far beyond the iPad 2, but not quite where the iPhone 4S stands.

Still, the new iPad churns up much clearer images compared to its predecessor. The Vietnamese source itself admits that more tests need to be done in order to fully determine its capabilities.
