I didn't have the Nexus 7 for my usual one week review period, so my views on its battery life should be taken with a grain of salt. In general the experience was good. I would get eight hours of usage from a full charge when spending a lot of time browsing, viewing images, running apps and watching YouTube videos. I could squeeze up to nine hours if I contained myself to mostly browsing websites.

There is no 3G connectivity on the Nexus 7, so if you want to browse the web you're limited to when you're in range of wi-fi or a tethered phone.

The Nexus 7 has a 1.2 MP camera capable of recording video at 720p. The quality of the video is best described as "good enough". It's good enough for Skype calls with family and clients, but not good enough to record presentations or video for web.
