I shoot alot of macro photography. I have a Canon SX60 and 80D. Is there a way to connect and Ipad / tablet to the camera to view what the camera is "seeing" so I can focus my shots precisely ( by viewing on a larger screen ). I am not interested in doing any remote focusing. Thanks for the help.

I can't speak for your SX60, but the 80D supports remote control via WiFi. You need to install the Canon "Camera Connect" app on your iPad:
This definitely supports your 80D and I believe it also supports your SX60 (but I'm a little less confident about the SX60).

“To use in focusing”? If you mean remote focusing, not with the 80D. Canon EF lenses are not remotely focused. Not sure whether, or not, the SX60 allows for remote focusing. I would not know.

I think tap to focus should work... I have used this with my 5D IV. You can’t “zoom” remotely.
