[QUOTE="wkarraker, post: 1202432, member: 195351"] [b]I'd be careful...[/b] If you take a look at the two cameras (in post #16) there are significant differences between the number of pins in each connector. I'd say trying to adapt the camera from the iPhone 4 to the iPad 2 would not be an easy task, you would have to match up the pin-outs of the camera modules. It is also unlikely the iPad has a compatible interface chip on the main board that will match up to the horizontal and vertical grid that the new camera would provide even if the connectors were the same size. Even if you can get a better camera into the iPad you still would be limited in capabilities. No flash and optical zoom on a $500 iDevice kinda makes a $99 12Mega pixel cameras look a little more appealing. Using the Camera Connection kit you can plug a usb cable or SD card into the 30 pin port and it works great.
