I am involved in amateur astrophotography these days and now I don't have to worry about my batteries dying when I'm in the middle of a long session of 3-4 hours. This adapter works perfectly with my Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D) and is the "one to buy" for this purpose. It comes with two fake batteries (one for the PowerShot G7 I suppose and one for the Rebel XT/XTi) and a little mini jack plugs into that after it is inserted into the camera. As always, Canon quality is apparent. This product is a great value.

Saves on battery life. This is the correct P/N for the Canon EOS Rebel.

Greetings, I'm using this product on my Canon 400D / XTI so my experience is only with that camera. First off, please keep in mind that this product uses a "Battery" that goes into your camera and then a electrical plug is inserted into that "Battery". This battery is exactly like the battery you are now using. The Canon package contains two batteries, each in their own plastic bag. One bag has a white piece of tape on it, this battery is for the G7 & G9 camera. The 400D uses the battery in the bag with the yellow tag on it. That battery is also marked with a DR-700 as per page 164 of the Canon manual. This battery is slipped into the battery compartment and then the male plug is inserted, you'll play with the rubber covering piece on the camera body to allow the power cable to exit the battery compartment. Plug the AC adapter into your 110V power source and turn your camera on and your good to go. I'm using this set up to take extended exposures for Star Trails, this type of photography requires multi hour un-interrupted power source. I've powered this adapter from a 12V battery through a 110V inverter and then this ACK-20 is plugged into that inverter. Canon quality and a great item for studio of field use. Hope this helps.

I got this item to power my rebel XT on long cold nights of astrophotography sessions. On my batteries, I could only get about an hour of exposures each, and had to keep checking if they were out. This item comes with a nice long cord to the "battery", and doesnt use a "wall wart". Instead it has a black box with a removable normal power cord. This saves room on your six outlet strip.

My only problems with it are the "battery" doesn't really clip into the camera well, and slips out when you open the battery door. Secondly, the documentation says look in your original camera documentation to see which "battery" you should use. (It comes with two near identical ones) I had to go look it up on canon's website since I couldn't find my original documentation. How hard would it be to have a little table in the ac adapters instruction book?

The unit works perfectly and is easy to use. I highly recommend this unit particularly for anyone who transfers images directly from their PowerShot G7 or Digital Rebel XT/STi camera to a computer since it avoids having to drain the camera battery during this time

The adapter was received the next day and works as advertised. Very happy with purchase.

if you're using your Powershot in the studio, indoor macro or time-lapse sessions, astro-photography...you'll find this AC adapter indispensable. This is a must have.

I have a Canon XT that I use for astrophotography.
With this AC adapter I can spend the entire night shooting the night sky without worrying about changing batteries.
This product works very well and I am very happy with it.

Work well and is easy to use. It's nice to have for me since there are long periods of time between use of my camera, and can plug this in and have my camera up and running instead of waiting for my batteries to charge.

I cannot rate this product as I purchased it as a gift for someone else. I have not had any negative feedback, so asume it was a good item.
