Question

What camera will export video directly to an iPad?

Apr 26, 2011 5:18AM PDT

I need a point and shoot cameras that records video in mpeg (preferably mpeg 4) that will be recognized and export directly to an iPad, not thru another computer.
Neither an iFlip nor Bloggie will work directly; the video format isn't recognize by the iPad.
Can anyone recomment some small point and shoot cameras that fit this requirement?

Regretably the CCK won't do it. The Flip camera connect, shows up as an .AVI file, but is greyed out -- and won't play in Video nor open in iMovie on the iPad.

Honestly, I would try the Genius bar

Perhaps someone there will have learned of a camera/codec solution that actually works w/o having to use the computer first. I've yet to see a valid solution posted online w/ CCK.
