Purchased the CA-PS700 by WHOLESALELAPTOPBATTERY for use on a Canon S5. The disputed plug of another reviewer fits perfect (correct size and type) though it is not an 'L /90 degree' shaped molded plug that some Canon units have. Checked the voltage with a Fluke (professional type) digital volt meter and the 7.4 volts was 7.385 V (well within tolerance). I have used this company several times over the past for replacement laptop computer batteries and adapters, and have never had a problem. In one case the incorrect battery was ordered which they exchanged without question. This adapter, although imported, is the same quality as all previous. I do not know where the other reviewer is coming from in his complaint. My adapter is not used all day, every day. If it were, I might consider the Canon (OEM) version. For my use though, this is a much less expensive way to go for battery elimination and it works perfectly.

This product does not work for the powershot g9.
The plug which is not an angle will not allow you to
close the battery compartment and therefore does not work.
You need to buy another part that which fits into the
camera and allows you to connect the adaptor to it. That is
only available from Canon for 24.09 includes shipping.
I bought that part and then found out that it still did not work.
This should not be listed for the powershot g9. This cost me
forty dollars for nothing. T

I just tested this adapter on my Canon S3IS camera and it worked great. I normally don't write product reviews but I found this product to work perfectly. For the money this is a great buy. Even though I was a little wary from previous reviews, I was glad that I took a chance and bought this product in spite of the cheaper price.

Do not buy this supposed CA-PS700. It is poor imitation of the real thing. I bought one and it died after two weeks. The plug doesn't hold into a socket, so I had to secure it with tape. The real thing is here: Canon CA-PS700 Compact Power Wall Adapter for Elura 50,S1 IS, S2 IS, S3 IS & Digital Rebel XT/XTi Cameras . If it isn't "by canon" stay far away. The real thing may cost more but it is worth the money.

Please send to us what we buy not another china made even if it is same spec

Although a decent set of rechargeable batteries goes very far with the S3 IS, the intervolometer or firmware mod+script won't get you more than a few hours of HDRI interval shots. The adapter lets you take shots until you run out of space on your card or computer. In my case, I used an inverter and 12v battery to fill a 2gig card over a two-week period. The sealed camera box worked flawlessly and I'm hoping to create a two-hour HDMI film of the transition to fall along a countryside riverbank in the Pacific Northwest.

This wouldn't be possible without the AC adapter.
