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'm not an Apple person, but I assume with the correct cables, you will be able to attach a camera to your iPad
I know with Android smart devices, there is a Canon app, likewise many other big named camera makers, and I'm sure there will be for Apple devices as well. That would suggest to me the option would be download to your device from your Lumix using the app and then using the appropriate app to airdrop, from there.
Personally I download my photos via the Canon program to my desktop, using the dedicated cable, which enables me to view all photos on a decent sized screen, which in turn facilitates easier sorting and any editing.
I'm not a big fan of online storage, it costs too much and with the huge number of photos I have gained over the years, not a financially viable option, so I keep all photos on solid state drives always with a backup, if one drive fails, hopefully the second can be used to create another. It worked well with when I originally stored on CD and later DVD.
I then upload a selection to Flickr and share a few here.

I've go to be honest and say I still use Flickr and pay the annual fee to store all my jpegs there. I also backup onto hard drives. The advantage of the online storage is that I still have access to my pictures wherever I am. Ive never had an iPad so have no idea of the difficulties in loading pictures to them or processing RAW images on them though for the last 10 years of so I have always used an iMac desktop after years ion using laptops.

I could add time, but that is making too big a file name."
My filing system is slightly different - on desktop and backup hard drive each year has 12 monthly folders and then a daily folder with location added. Photos are stored in time order within each daily photo. On Flickr the photos (only jpgs) are placed into species albums so that it is easy to find a specific species when needed. Obviously you can always use the Camera Rolll feature to view daily photo shoots if required.
