iOS 7 on iPad 2

[cdaamn]

I decided not to upgrade my iPhone 4 as is supposed to be slower. Is the iPad 2 any good on iOS7? I don't really want to slow my device down by upgrading. I know you don't get all of the features but for the animations and other features is it running smoothly?

Thanks

I upgraded my iPad mini, which is basically the same as a iPad 2, and it seems to be working okay, I like how you can now stream movies you own, but where are the movie posters?, and in the control center, no flashlight or calculator? Love iTunes Radio!

I have just updated to IOS7 but when I have opened camera there is no option to video, can anyone help?

Go ahead and upgrade. My iPad2 runs better overall, including faster picture downloads in Safari. I mainly use mine to surf the web.

It's great on iPAD 2, but no SiRi, alas, but we knew that already - I downloaded Evi to compensate for that a while back.

It takes a bit of getting used to and you may choose to decrease brightness a bit as there is so much "white", plus opt to bold text under Settings > General > Accessibility, but that was mainly for my bad eyesight.
If you consolidate lots of Apps into folders on the main screen you'll be glad to know that now you can pack a lot more into a folder than before.

Wifi is better and screen changes noticeably more quickly. Has a "cleaner" look which some may prefer. Overall, a worthwhile upgrade.

I've upgraded on my iPad 2, it isn't any slower. I HATE it! but it doesn't run any slower.

I can't figure out how make a video with this update? Anybody know how?
Thanks

Have done the update and all seems to be working Ok, however, while I can see a video option on the camera I can't get it to work either!

Oh, and when I double click on the home button to shut down the apps running in the background, I see the apps and the page they have open (a new feature I haven't seen before), but no matter what I do I can't seem to shut them down - they just open instead. Ideas?

Ok, sorted the apps issue. Touch/hold the icon just opens the page/function without bringing up the red 'close' dot, but a multi finger sweep of the app to the top of the screen closes the app.
