Hi
I wonder if anyone could recommend a descent camera with a zoom that is compatiable with airdropping pics and videos to I pads and phones , I have a Panasonic lumix which has a good zoom but am unable to airdrop pics ,thanks

I suspect that Apple will not give the secret of their Airdropping away. Personally I always use the lead that comes with the camera to load direct to the computer and never have issues.

I must admit I always use the camera supplied wire connection and never take the card out of the camera working on the principal that using a card reader requires 4 instances of disconnecting the card per session, which to me increases the risk of card failure at some ( probablyimortant) point.
I agree with Bobs-Retired post. I am a keen amateur photographer and prefer to use the supplied lead to download my photos rather than a card reader, as removing and replacing the card can, if you're unlucky can result in bent pins in the camera, which would prove very expensive to get repaired.

I'm sure it doesn't happen very often but once would be too many times. Also bear in mind I'm using a large capacity ultra high speed CF card in my 1DX so I really don't want to have to replace that :( but I've always used camera leads and camera manufacturer import software to get the pictures on the computer even when I was only using small SD cards.
