iPad Air 1 and 2: Camera comparison tests

The iPad Air 2 features, among other enhancements, a higher-resolution camera - this component has been boosted to 8 megapixels, compared to 5Mp in the iPad Air 1. But does this spec improvement translate into noticeably better photos in real-world shooting?
To find out, we took the iPad Air 1 and iPad Air 2 out and about (risking public mockery and/or mugging) to test their cameras in a variety of conditions. In this slideshow we present comparisons of zoomed-in elements of the shots, to illustrate the differences in the level of detail each tablet is able to capture, as well as the original shots for further comparisons.
