Jan 4, 2014 9:17 AM in response to jeff093by randers4,The camera roll contains photos actually taken on your device, or saved from text messages, emails, websites, etc. Because of this you shouldn't expect both devices to have the same photos in the camera roll.
The my photo stream album is also usually differerent on your devices. This happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though they stay on your devices longer). When you enable photo stream on a device, it can only receive photo stream photos still in iCloud, which are those from the last 30 days. A consequence of this is that unless you enabled photo stream on both devices within 30 days of each other, one is likely to end up with fewer photo stream photos than the other.
