I received the ACK-E5 Replacement AC Power adapter yesterday. Delivery was very quick, but I was unhappy to see the unit is unusable without modification. The camera end of the unit slides into the battery compartment of my Canon 450D XSi camera. The size of the adapter is the same but there is a small plastic piece that extrudes from the bottom preventing the adapter to fully lock into place. In order to use this adapter you must use a cutting tool and remove this plastic stub. Works fine after that!

The reason I wanted this AC power adaptor was so I could do astrophotography and keep the camera on for hours without removing it from the tripod to replace the dead battery, and mess up my alignment to the heavens. And for that reason it gets 5 stars for doing that. Having said that, for you Rebel users, there is a tab on the bottom of the battery pack that should be cut off before putting it in you camera. Compare it to you battery pack and you will see what I'm talking about. This is not an original Canon product, it is aftermarket, but it does work as advertised. I don't consider having to cut off the tab a reason to demote my rating, since it took all of 5 seconds to cut off. I'm sure some cameras may use this tab.

My adapter worked fine. Just as expected.

Ordering a second one to use on a second camera.

Its not the OEM Canon unit. But it works fine...
