You won't br getting the same display attributes/experience the iPad Pros had/have in a base model, budget iPad.
So, you need to understand that.
The higher end cameras, especially the front facing camera, are better for FaceTime calls or taking Selfie images and video.
The front facing cameras on all base model, budget iPad models is the same very crummy 1.2mp front camera that Apple keeps insisting on using in its iPad lineup, all the way back to the 2012 iPad 3rd generation and iPad Mini 1.
Even my very expensive $1K+, 2015/2016, 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro, which I purchased very late in 2015, had this very bad 1.2 mp “FaceTime video only” camera!
Can't believe Apple did that in such a high end iPad at that time!
And there is a huge difference in sound without the 4-speaker, stereo speakers.
The speakers on all the base models iPads, from the 5th gen to the 8th gen, all have two speakers that fire only from one side of the iPad. The sound is NOT stereo and it is a thinner much less “bass-ier” sound.
It is a big difference in sound quality from that found in an iPad Pro.
So, you will be missing out on that feature, as well.
Like I stated, these missing features won't affect anything having to do with actually sketching/drawing/painting on that iPad model.
The 8th gen model iPad will get the job done for you, but without ANY of the premium iPas Pro features.
You will just need to learn to live without these premium features that ARE NOT present in a base model, budget-conscious iPad.
