I've had nothing but trouble with mine. I think it is a software issue more than anything else. I cannot get it to work properly with my iPad or iPhone.

That's gotten mixed reviews. I got a similar unit, and Aoteka. I have a small GPS tracker that communicates with the Aoteka and puts GPS info onto the pictures. I don't care about connecting with my phones, etc.

I wonder if cameras with built-in Wi-Fi communicate any better with iPhones.

jerryc41,
I see you on UHH often and get a lot from your comments and finally maybe I can assist you with a cautionary tale.
I was looking for a small camera for my wife that could double as a small backup when I travel with other gear. I wanted small and was comparing Canon, Nikon and the Sony RX100 II, which the reviews said gave the best images, 20mp, and great lens. It was also a goal to get some wireless connections so we could see large scale images on our iPads while we travel. The Sony was, I am afraid, a big mistake, and here is why - firstly, I incorrectly thought the camera, with downloaded software could in effect, airdrop images to another machine. This it cannot do. You must log the camera in to a wifi system, and transfer through that system. The manual, documentation and user interface are impossible. Typing protocols and passwords in to the camera is nearly impossible, as the typing style is like a 20-year old cell phone. If you are not in a wifi zone, you are out of luck. Maybe I am just stupid with the wrong expectations. I don't know if any cameras or add on pieces can air drop, but if not, it seems to be pretty useless unless you only want to look at images in your living room. To boot, the lens on this camera is not really that good and cannot handle anything bright in the image. I will keep trying with this little camera, but really regretting not buying one of the others.
Good luck,
JH

Mine works great with my iPad but WILL NOT work on my iPhone. Gave up trying.

You have your RX 100 talking directly to your iPad without a wifi system?

Chris,
I finally have my sony talking to my computer through the house wifi. But what I want is to be able to send directly from the camera to the iPad without a wifi, just like Apple's "airdrop". Do you know if it is possible?
Otherwise, I take out the memory card and connect it to the iPad. Seems old fashioned, no?
