We were at a Ren Faire a couple of years ago and some dickweed stood up in the front row to record the joust on his ipad. People kept asking him to sit down. He refused, repeateadly. Then the pretzel guy came by and someone got the bright idea to buy 20 pretzels and hand them out to the people seated nearby. It was pretzel projectile time. Pretty funny, actually.

A tourist was taking photos at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego recently, fell off the cliffs and died. Horrible. Edit : with an iPad I lived on Sunset Cliffs Blvd. when I was in college. We'd hear the helicopters and know someone went out on the rocks and got stuck after the tide came in. I was at a concert at Honda Center (a hockey arena) so I was looking at an angle toward the stage at one end. The person next to me seemed intent on taping the whole thing on his giant phone. It was so distracting because it was right in my line of sight. My dad loves to take photos with his iPad. I do not understand the appeal. |

I fully admit to preferring my iPad for pictures when I'm home. I can't really explain why but it's just a better feel, better quality? Plus the larger screen is nicer too.
But you won't see me out in public using that thing unless I forgot my
Phone but have the iPad with. It's never happened but I'm not going to say never. In the grand scheme of life I don't know why anyone even cares, other than if your big ass camera is blocking someone else's view. And I'm 38 if anyone is wondering. I bought my mini iPad so I could video dog training sessions. So other than that, I don't usually take it out with me. Oops, wait, I did take dog video with it while we were camping. The last time I had my dd video me and my dog in class she used my iPhone, not my iPad. |

Unfortunately, the camera in the iPad keeps getting better and better, so there is no stopping the iPad photographers! I do notice though that a lot of iPad photographers tend to be older. My fil is 75 and he uses an ipad to take pictures. But he gets the best pictures! He took some at a flower show and I couldn't stop looking at them, they were so sharp. He was never a big picture taker, so that's an inexperienced photographer taking some good pictures. But my inlaws would never pull out their ipad to take pictures when it would obstruct others view (the flower show was pretty empty when they went). I just wanted to agree with you about the camera getting better and older photographers. But I told my husband I want one to use as a camera!  |

When we were on our last cruise, I noticed them. But as annoying as the Ipad picture takers are, I think the iPad Facetimers are worse!!! That seems to be the new trend, at least with tourists. You'll be walking around the buffet, or trying to catch the parade, and all of a sudden this big video-screened face is staring back at you. Talk about creepy!!!!
