I want to copy photos from my Z8/Z7ii to my IPad. I believe a camera adapter is needed between the two. Is that correct? Suggestions for a good adapter?

Have you looked into the respective camera user manuals for a bluetooth connection between the equipment?

Apple and others sell a connector for the SD card to iPad.
Make sure and get one that fits your particular model as there are a couple. I would go to the Apple site and check accessories and note their application.I found out when our different models required specific card readers. Same with Iphone charging cables.

A quick google search suggests that not all iPads are equal. Newer iOS versions allow direct camera to iPad connections. Most hits on the google search suggest using card readers.

Apple makes accessories to move pictures from an SD card to an iPhone or iPad. Here’s one with a USB-C connection for iPhone 15 and some newer iPads:

And another for older iPhones and iPads using a lightning connection:

Sd to lightening adapters are common
Do you intend to edit on the iPad? on new ones it is possible but not terribly sophisticated.
A better strategy is to edit on your computer, make folders of edited JPEGS and move those to the iPad
If you have a Mac it is really simple , import your folder into PGOTOS as an album and you can then move the whole album to the iPad with Air Drop (all wireless)
You can also 'Publish' or share that album on iCloud photo sharing and invite only who you want.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to clutter a device with limited storage with loads of big files.
The Latest iPads have the ability to have an external drive (or USb3 Memory stick) you could also do it that way which would be cross platform.

Bluetooth is pretty slow, especially with those 45+ mp files. Just get a CFExpress card reader with whichever connection your iPad has, (lighting or USB-C). Or if you already have a reader get the appropriate adapter.

Assuming a newer iPad, you can use a USB-C to USB-C cable. Older iPad may require USB-C to Lightning cable.
Alternatively, you can download Nikon’s SnapBridge app and download wirelessly. There’s a brief learning curve to connect the iPad to the camera’s network. Yes…it’s slow, especially for NEF files…but you can preview and select the ones you want.
Once SnapBridge is installed (especially on your phone), you can also use it for tethered shooting. Not the best tethering arrangement, but the price is good.

I use an sd card adapter to lightning which fits in the charging portal of my I pad. Got it from Amazon. Mine has a compact flash card slot and an sd card slot. My camera can auto transfer as Paul suggested, but, I too am computer /tech naive.

I bought a device from Sandisk that has a USB on one end and an apple lightning plug on the other. Down load the software to your iPhone and you can transfer photos and files from your phone to the device which has a 256GB memory in the stick and then transfer to your computer. Alternatively, you can transfer onto the stick when you plug the USB end into your computer, then download onto the memory stick and then take it out of your computer and plug the other end into your iPhone charging port and download files or photos, onto your iPhone, or iPad, of course. They are quite inexpensive now, compared to what they cost just a few years ago.

Why use a process where everything is copied twice. Simply use a card reader and go directly to the iPad.

Plug a USB C cord into both, go to photos, select your camera, and either select the images you want, or select all, they will be imported to Recents in Photos.
Any questions, ask. Then, while the cord is still in the camera, plug the other end into your iPad charging block, and charge the camera battery.
