5 best tablets with a good camera
Tablets for high-quality shooting
Author: Vladimir Nyenets
It is considered that the tablet is inconvenient for taking photo and video: significant dimensions do not allow to carry it with you all the time, so most models are equipped with cameras for show. Indeed, with a good smartphone, the need for a separate digital “soap box” disappears naturally. At the same time, some users prefer universal devices of large format, and in many cases the best solution would be to purchase a tablet that can replace the camera if necessary.
On the advantages and disadvantages of the best tablets equipped with a good camera, read our rating:

35 830 (for model SM-T715)
Both models of the flagship line of Samsung are equipped with the same sensors of their own production and sufficiently high-aperture optics: f / 1.9 and f / 2.2 for the main and front cameras, respectively. The correct white balance helps to set the backlight, and the clarity of the picture provides a fast and tenacious autofocus. For unknown reasons, the manufacturer refused to flash on their tablets. Although even at medium distances the real benefit from them was not great, when shooting in conditions of insufficient lighting even such help turns out to be superfluous. Praise deserves specialized software and support for a large number of interesting and popular shooting modes, for example, 3D-modeling or two-sided. Well implemented hdr. When shooting video electronic image stabilization works on resolutions only up to Full HD. The preference of the younger model is given due to the presence of conversational dynamics.

Excellent universal tablet for the Internet, games, movies and calls. Even shoots pretty well, and the video is just awesome. |

As the undisputed leader in the production of high-quality photosensors, Sony, for unknown reasons, can not maximize their potential. In the tablet category, only the obvious reluctance of other leading players in this market to save the same cameras on their products as on flagship smartphones saves the day. Regarding the main camera, the Japanese were also greedy - the Exmor RS module used there in various modifications is already being used in the third generation of Xperia tablets. On the other hand, it has backlighting and sensory focusing, and the whole node has zoom and digital image stabilization. The front camera, compared with its predecessors, acquired a 5-megapixel CMOS BSI matrix, but without autofocus. Under normal lighting conditions, pictures and videos are of decent quality, and in another case, it does not make sense to use a tablet as a video camera or a camera due to the lack of a flash.

A person who removes such a large “pill” looks cool from the outside, but the result is of high quality, especially video. Despite the modest resolution at the present time, the clarity of the picture is very good and the sound level. |

Surprisingly, in the middle class, there are also tablets with good cameras. The manufacturer even equipped the model with an LED flash. Singleton, but against the background of the lack of such functionality in more famous devices, it already deserves respect. There is autofocus and high-quality implementation of the HDR mode. The main camera takes good pictures even in low artificial light. The only requirement is that the photographer must have a firm hand and some patience, since there is no stabilization in the device. The program shell of the corresponding application is made in the style of “ultimate minimalism”. However, it allows you to set the white balance, select the appropriate scenario, adjust the shutter speed or shutter lag. Compared to the rear, the front camera in high resolution is no different. Her capacity is enough for acceptable communication via Skype, but to make fashionable now self will not work. In any case, you should not show it to your friends.

Cute smart tablet with a good camera, with high-quality sound and fast mobile Internet. Surprisingly, good shoots. At least - no worse than any "soapbox". |

36 990 (for model 64Gb Wi-Fi + Cellular)
Worthy quality of images and a clear lack of progress in the equipment show the latest generation of tablets Apple. Despite the significant time interval between the output of the Air 2 and mini 4 models, the cameras of these devices are equipped with identical sensors with reverse illumination. Interestingly, the luminosity of the frontal node is even higher than the rear luminosity - f / 2.2 against f / 2.4, respectively. At the same time, the lens of the main camera contains five lenses and is capable of filtering the parasitic components of the luminous flux. Using CMOS BSI type matrixes allows for less noisy images, and the entire node has an increased dynamic range. Beginning photographers help in shooting digital image stabilization, autofocus and exposure compensation. Finding the right settings is easy; several profiles with optimal presets are designed for this purpose. Both cameras support face recognition. Of the weighty flaws, we note the absence of a flash and the low resolution of the front camera.

Great tablet with a good camera. The possibilities of the camera is enough for most domestic cases. Especially if in the future it is not planned to make posters on the whole wall. |

Products from the Lenovo ThinkPad line are targeted at the corporate segment of consumers, which does not prevent them from being used by other users who like the Windows operating system. The tablet is based on the Intel hardware platform, its case is covered with an aluminum cover on the back, and the display is protected by durable tempered glass. In terms of performance and quality of the picture on the screen, the model is all right.Only the speed of data exchange of the built-in storage device is somewhat disappointing - by today's standards it is modest. The main camera is equipped with a flash and autofocus. The matrix used in it does not have any backlighting; nevertheless, a well-implemented post-processing of images allows you to get good photos in most modes. The front camera does not represent anything special, but it copes well with its direct responsibilities.

A good tablet is a portable laptop replacement with a decent camera. If necessary, the pictures can even be corrected “on the spot”, although it is extremely inconvenient to do this without a mouse on such a small screen. |
As you can see, in the ranking of tablets with a good camera, the first places are expectedly occupied by the flagships of the main manufacturers. Although these companies give a clear preference to smartphones, even the residual principle allows their tablets to demonstrate superiority over their closest competitors in terms of the usefulness of installed cameras. A pleasant exception to this background is Lenovo products. Moreover, the worthy models of the Chinese giant are found even in the middle price category.
