Hi, Sheilatheresa.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We’re glad you decided to reach out about about choosing between an iPad Pro and MacBook Air camera. If we understand correctly, you returned the MacBook Air because you weren’t satisfied with the quality of your video calls, and you want to know if the iPad Pro has a better camera.
We'll point you the best direction for answers.
The new iPad Pro actually has three different cameras, a wide and ultra wide lens in the rear and the TrueDepth camera in the front. You will mostly likely be using the TrueDepth camera during video sessions, so we encourage you to compare the "TrueDepth Camera" section of the iPad Pro technical specifications page with the “Camera” section of the MacBook Air.

MacBook Air - Technical Specifications - Apple
All our best.
