Best iPad for video meetings – ALL iPad camera specs LIST Video Conferencing & Photography

Last updated: April 28th, 2020 The iPad was first introduced in 2010 without a camera. Since then, the capabilities and models of the iPad family have steadily expanded.

If you are looking for an easy way to add some pizzazz to your still photos, you may want to try making a cinemagraph.

Disable RAW transfer to iPad when using Eye-Fi

My wife uses her Olympus XZ-1 with an iPad 3 (or ‘New iPad’) and the combination is quite capable 🙂 However, by default if you shoot RAW+JPEG the Eye-Fi will transfer both to the iPad.
