RUMOR: iPad 2 will have 1-megapixel rear-facing camera

“We’ve done some digging in the latest SDK it looks like Apple’s much rumored second-generation iPad will not feature some fancy 5 megapixel camera, but will instead shoot your flicks and take your pics with something close to a 1 megapixel camera,” Mark Gurman reports for 9 to 5 Mac.

“That’s awfully close to the fourth-generation iPod touch’s 0.7 megapixel back camera so we speculate they could be the same thing,” Gurman reports. “That means you’ll be able to take some unwieldy 720P video with your iPad.”

Gurman reports, “As for the front, it’s VGA, just like the iPhone 4 and fourth-generation iPod touch. The front-facer for FaceTime and taking pictures of yourself will do video recording too.”
