This review is from: Canon ACK-DC30 AC Adapter Kit for SD700IS, SD800IS, SD850IS, SD870IS, SD880IS, SD890IS, SD900, SD950IS, SD990IS, SD970IS & SX200IS Digital Cameras (Electronics)

I bought this item approx 1 year before actually using it. I initially thought the item was DOA since there is only one way to make connections and my camera(Canon SD850IS) would not power up. I came back to Amazon to check reviews and noticed others reported receiving a DOA item as well. It turns out if the battery cover remains open and the cord is connected directly to the coupler, the camera will not power up. There is a small hole behind the part of the battery/memory card cover labeled "Card/Batt. Open". This smaller cover needs to be opened with a fingernail or small tool to the right of the arrow beside the word "Open". Once I connected the cord via this hole to the coupler, the camera powered up. Now I can use the camera for extended hours without worrying about battery life.

Gave the product 5 stars but it would have been helpful if the instruction sheet from Canon provided some detail regarding the proper connection of the item.

5.0 out of 5 stars AC power, October 1, 2007

This review is from: Canon ACK-DC30 AC Adapter Kit for SD700IS, SD800IS, SD850IS, SD870IS, SD880IS, SD890IS, SD900, SD950IS, SD990IS, SD970IS & SX200IS Digital Cameras (Electronics)

If you have a camera that can use this type of adaptor; get it. It's OEM and it works. You can video or use the time lapse function without worrying about battery life. And if your computer doesn't have an SD card reader and you have to use the cameras supplied cords, this will same on the battery life.

5.0 out of 5 stars a life saver when you need to download a ton of vid/pics, January 21, 2009

This review is from: Canon ACK-DC30 AC Adapter Kit for SD700IS, SD800IS, SD850IS, SD870IS, SD880IS, SD890IS, SD900, SD950IS, SD990IS, SD970IS & SX200IS Digital Cameras (Electronics)

If you have a big SD card and typically download a ton of pictures and video (I'd say over 250 video/pics) then this little item is pretty useful. The lowdown: you simply remove your battery in the camera (I have an SD950IS) and slip the adapter battery in its place, and close the battery cover. pull out the rubber stopper on the camera's battery cover (yeah, this is what that thing is for!) and plug in the adapter cord. It's pretty much that easy. So besides using this for downloading a lot of content, I have also plugged it in when replaying images and videos from the camera to a TV. I have noticed that when I have a large download from the camera, that using this adapter as the power source instead of the battery power (which is what I always did) made the download noticeably faster! Just keep in mind that the adapter is exactly what it looks like in the picture, it can be a little cumbersome if you are trying to travel light. It has that typical converter block that you see and the wires are long, so they could take up some space, again, if you are looking to take it with you everywhere you go. I just keep it by the computer where I download everything. Great little product.
