How does the video recording quality of the Ultra Wide camera on the iPad Pro M3 compare to other iPads

For video recording, the Ultra Wide camera on older iPad Pro models (before the 2024 version) could capture video but was not the primary camera for video recording. The main video recording capabilities were centered around the Wide camera, which supports up to 4K video at various frame rates (24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps, or 60 fps) and ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps[1][4].

In comparison, other iPads like the iPad Air 2024 also offer a rear camera capable of 4K video recording but lack the advanced features and higher-quality video capabilities of the iPad Pro's Wide camera[6]. The front-facing Ultra Wide camera on the iPad Pro, used for selfies and video calls, supports 1080p HD video recording at up to 60 fps and features like Center Stage for keeping the subject centered during calls[1][2].

Overall, while the Ultra Wide camera on older iPad Pro models was useful for capturing wider scenes, the primary video recording quality and features are associated with the Wide camera. The latest iPad Pro models have shifted focus towards a single camera setup with enhanced capabilities for tasks beyond traditional photography and video recording.

For users seeking high-quality video recording, the iPad Pro's Wide camera offers superior performance compared to other iPads, though the lack of an Ultra Wide rear camera in newer models might be a consideration for those needing a wider field of view.
