You are right the camera is not a high point of this tablet. I subscribe to consumer reports’s online and they said it has a relatively course screen resolution 149 pixels per inch the rectangle or screen is better shape for videos then for photos. Consumer Reports does rate this tablet overall as a Best Buy. If you want to tablet for pictures specifically this may not be the one for you but you might want to still consider using your phone or an actual camera because using a 10 inch tablet to take pictures is cumbersome anyways.
