Hi,

I'm looking to use a camcorder or camera to record photos and videos on my trips. I only have an iPad (no actual computer) and I don't know what the best options are for recording video or photos and then integrating them with my iPad.

I know GoPro has something like an app that you can use, but the photo quality is too poor for me (based on photos I've seen from frinpends) I'm kind of at a loss on what to do or what a good setup is. I don't care too much about storing them on my iPad. Probably would need to store them on Dropbox or something similar I would imagine.

I'm kind of a cloud-only person.

Any suggestions ? I was considering the following:

GoPro hero silver + or whatever it's called
Canon vixia hf r500
Canon powershot s 110

I would recommend the SD card reader for the iPad http://store.apple.com/us/product/M...4a41bacb71c1bf323dc1ede03e48461ae7763bc6cce7e

You can easily import your video and photos from your GoPro and camera SD Cards to your iPad (assuming yo have a newer iPad with a lightning connector). If you fill up your available storage on the iPad, you can easily transfer them to iCloud or Dropbox.
