I have never seen a person take a picture with an iPad using the rear camera.

What I want from the front camera is mostly good light sensitivity and color rendition. I don't need more than 1080p video on it though. It feels like it should be possible without making it very expensive. If it isn't possible, then for an iPad I'd sacrifice ALL the rear camera functionality for just a slightly better front cam, in a heartbeat.

in my experience it is very popular to do in older demographics.

I’ve also seen it a lot at large scientific conferences where people take pictures of slides. This can be easier to work with on an iPad because they are probably also taking notes on it, so the picture get integrated into the notes.
