Yes, it is the 12mp Tasco and yes, there are problems with the iPhone and iPad. I found a workaround. I have no problems with viewing the photos on my Windows computer. I download the photos to my laptop. I pick out the photos I want to share. Then I open each photo by double clicking on the photo, click on edit, click on save options, then select save as copy and then change the file type from .jpg to .jpeg. Now they can be viewed by an iPhone and iPad. I email the photos to myself, open my email on my iPhone and then download the photos to my iPhone. From there, I can text them to people. If I want to post to NCH&F, I can either post from by computer or post from my phone, whatever I'm using at the time to access this forum.
