And about WiFi transfers to your iPad ....

.... it works, but I rarely use it.  Although virtually all newer cameras now feature wireless image transfers, my own opinion is that it is not all it's cracked up to be.

Most WiFi transfers will only handle JPEG formats and not RAW.  The transfer rates are fairly slow, especially at full resolution.  Canon allows full size transfers, but Nikon only supports compressed file sizes on batch transfers.

I do use my iPad for transfers when away from home, but prefer to use the very simple and very fast SD to Lightning card reader.   At home, I just plug the card right into my iMac's card slot.   Some users really love the wireless transfer feature, but I find it very limited in its function.  I have Canon, Sony, and Nikon cameras, and have about the same poor opinion of all of their WiFi features ... which is why I tend to avoid them.
