Transfer Photographs from Camera to an iPad
My friend has an iPad and wishes to transfer photgraphs from her camera to the iPad.
I am an Android phone user so I haven't a clue, what advice can I give my friend on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
I assume you meant iPad, not iPod the second time. Check Amazon for adaptors that accept the type of card used in the camera; an iPad or iPhone will automatically recognize the device once plugged into the charging port and images can be transferred. If the camera has wifi, there should be an iPad app for he camera that sets up a hot spot for direct transfer. For Nikon, it's called WMU - Wireless Mobile Utility - and works great.

She can use the apple LB to SD cars adaptor.

I purchased an Apple 🍎 card reader adapter when I purchased my iPad. It connects to the charger connector, you then insert your memory card into it and open the Photo app. From there you select the images you want to download.
The other way is download the images to your PC / Mac 💻 and then transfer the images using the APPLE iTunes program.
Apple has an adapter, lightning on one end and a SD on the other end. Around 30 bucks at Apple Store.

I have this adapter and it works fine, with one caveat: the iPad will only recognize and transfer JPEG images, no raw files.

These answers illustrate a general issue with Apple - they make "closed" systems, so unless your purpose matches something they have prepared for, there may not be an easy way.
Personally, over the years I have had iPhones, 'droids, and even a WinPhone; the latter two allowed me to connect my phone to a computer like I would connect a disk to the computer, and then read/write files. Last year, when I traveled with a Surface and a WinPhone, I plugged a USB cable into the Surface and used it to read images from my camera to my Surface; then I plugged a different USB cable into the Surface and used it to write those images from my Surface to my WinPhone. In just a couple of minutes, I was using my phone to send those images to my family. Doing the same thing with Apple requires real knowledge of their various apps.
General response for using mobil devices for photo processing ... I have a 2012 iPad that I was able to purchase an SD card reader for and it worked great. JPEG files went to the photos app and I could move to LightRoom Mobil App. Recently, I purchased an iPhone 7 plus and at the Apple Store picked up the lightening SD card reader. I downloaded my SD card to Photos and imported the best photos to LightRoom Mobil. When I processed the photos in LR they were my RAW files! (In camera I save my images using both jpeg and raw.)

And that answered the OP's question how? We all get you think PC's Are better. But that was not the question. The answe is actually quite simple just either use wifi on the camera or buy a cable to do it. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that the exact same way you do it with a PC? Or doe PC's have some additional mythical magical way of doing it?

My iPad receives raw files
If all you want to do on the iPad is show off pictures, this will work, but the file size is limited. You will need Facebook on both computers. "Sharing" needs to be active on your computers.
1. On computer with the stored photos, in Facebook, go into your account ( click small avitar in Create a Post box ). Your iPad and Mac required to share (free) iCloud account
2. Chose import photo and select photo.
3. In the lower left corner is a box where you choose who can view your pictures. Select "you only"
4. Click Create Post. You should now see your Posted picture(s), but no one else can.
5. Click, perhaps a few times) on an image until you see options as to what you can do with the photo. Choose "store to iPhoto". Check iPhoto to make sure they made it.
6. When you now go into iPhotos on your iPad your picture should be there.
These pictures will not be at full resolution, but maybe 4-5 Mbs each. Enough for a very nice looking picture on that high-res screen.
Good luck.

Yep, I transfer raw files to my IPad all the time (using the SD to lightning adapter and various apps).
If your images are in your Windows computer down load iTunes as it has a version for Windows and is free. It is not simple, but you can sync a folder or picture files to an Apple product - either iPhone or iPad... Good luck! Best if you have an Apple friend with iTunes experience. I assume same process works if you have ab Apple computer...
I have never read so much garbage.
You can transfer photos from a camera to an iPad a number of ways. Cable, wifi or a card reader that apple supply. You can transfer RAW or JPG files. You can use many post production tools. You can also transfer the photos further either via iTunes, or via cloud services (like Adobe cc, iCloud, Dropbox etc etc.)
It's all remarkably simple.

I'm sorry - but I don't see any reason for me to clear comments with you in advance.
... and comparative comments might be helpful to someone who is in the process of assembling a traveling kit.
