Perhaps the easiest and fastest method of transferring photos is to use an SD Card reader.


Assuming that your iPad has an Apple Lightning connection (as likely suggested by the tags appended to your post):


  • Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader

If instead you have a more recent model of iPad or iPad Pro that features a USB-C port:


  • USB-C to SD Card Reader

You might also consider a direct connection between your cameras USB port and your iPad using an appropriate data cable and adapter, however, the cost is likely to be greater - and the transfer rate slower. Again, assuming your iPad has a Lightning port:


  • Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter

You’ll obviously need an appropriate USB cable to connect the USB Type-A port of the adapter to your camera’s USB port.
