3.0 out of 5 stars Canon Power Adapter, March 28, 2006

By	Paul E. Schweppe "pschweppe" (Bay City, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like the idea of having an AC adapter for my Canon Powershot S2, just in case... However, so far (three months of use) I have found that the rechargable batteries have given me more than enough juice for downloads and projection on tv. I also find the transformer quite heavy and bulky--not something you would normally carry in your cameraq case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Complement, March 21, 2006

By	H. Gong - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this power adapter for my new Canon S2 IS and this device I would highly recommend for it. Especially useful as I was learning to use this camera and I didn't have to worry about draining power. There are cheaper aftermarket alternatives when it comes to power adapters but I invested what I feel is allot on my camera and I didn't want to take a chance on a knock-off power adapter screwing up my investment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Compatible With Canon DSLRs (i.e. Rebel series) Without Converter Battery, April 8, 2009

By	Paul E. DuBois Jr. "Dism" (Queens, NY, USA) - See all my reviews

Contrary to the product title of "Canon CA-PS700 Compact Power Wall Adapter for Canon SX1IS and Digital Rebel XT/XTi & XS/XSi Cameras," the CA-PS700 Compact Power Adapter does NOT include the battery necessary to actually charge any Rebel series cameras; therefore, it is not the right product for DSLR owners. The product picture of the power adapter + plug = all you get. There is no converter battery included.

Amazingly, if one were to look on Canon's website to find power adapters compatible with any DSLR in the Rebel series, one would come across the CA-PS700 Compact Power Adapter. But the CA-PS700 does not include a special converter battery that is supposed to be connected to the power cord and then inserted into the battery compartment; without the converter battery, the power cord is rendered useless. Somehow, this special converter battery is impossible to locate by itself on Canon's website as well as on Amazon. What one needs is the Canon ACK-E5 AC Adapter Kit, which comes with the power adapter cord and special converter battery. Right now it only costs ten bucks more than the CA-PS700.

For the fact that it works fine for point-and-shoots is great, and for anyone who is looking at this product to use for their Powershot S series, read the positive reviews for that and don't let me dissuade you. I am giving this product a 1 star rating to caution consumers who are looking for an A/C power charge to their Rebel series.
