If your camera spends any amount of time connected to your computer--either copying pictures, or using the remote capture program--you should have this AC adapter. It is also obviously handy to have if you do a lot of shooting from a fixed location--for instance: a tripod.

The adaptor is an ingenious little contraption. There is the normal AC line that runs to the power adapter, but instead of running the DC output to a dedicated jack on the camera body, the connector is in the shape of the normal battery pack. If you look closely at your camera, you will see a little grove at the bottom of the battery compartment providing enough room for a wire to exit.

Now for the surprise. I'm planning a trip to Europe. I knew the battery charger that came with the camera, and this AC adapter both support 100-240 volts AC, 50-60 Hz input. Which covers all the worlds power supplies. But the battery charger included with the camera only came with the US power cord. I've been looking for various European cords that would fit the charger so I could keep my batteries topped off overseas. What should I find when I open the box to this adaptor? A complete collection of all the worlds cords, which also happen to fit the charger. What a win, now I can run my camera on AC, and stay charged while I'm on vacation.

I use my Canon 10d mainly for Astrophotography. Most of the time,

it involves keeping the camera shutter open for long periods of

time, anywhere from a few minutes to tens of minutes. This ACK-E2

adapter takes my worries away from monitoring battery status or a

drained one, while i control the camera remotely sitting inside my

house. Continuous power also ensures worry free writes to its flash

storage. The package included several AC power connectors which is

very useful while travelling. Amazon provides a wide range of items

to choose from.

As I was searching for this item on Amazon, I found several different "versions" listed, with different product sub-numbers included in the description. You can ignore these differences. As long as it's an ACK-E2, it's what you're looking for. Buy the least expensive one!
