An external camera will blow away the quality of the ipad camera and work better under a variety of situations. In truth, by the time zoom is done compressing my video, I'm not completely convinced that higher-res input makes a difference. The macbook air gets higher performance (I doubt they can fit that large heatsink in the ipad) and has better battery life too. In any case, it's academic because I can't run the software I actually need on an ipad.
