If you own an iPhone or iPod touch with a built-in camera you probably enjoy the convenience of using the camera for both sill and video photography. We sure do, but Camera Roll can really get bloated. This can lead to longer sync times when you attach your device to iTunes.
If you want to speed things up you should consider the periodic purging of images or videos from your camera roll as often as possible. You can do this after you've synced the photos to iPhoto on your Mac.
Although the iPad doesn't have a camera, you can store screenshots on your camera roll and you can load photos and videos using the camera connection key. Eventually your iPad will suffer the same slow sync and backup times.
The best thing to do is to keep your iOS devices Camera Roll as lean as possible. Sync your images and videos, delete them from the device, and you'll see faster sync times in iTunes.
