I bought this AC adapter for my Canon mainly to clean the image sensor and not have to worry about the battery being fully charged. But the adapter is useful if you are planning to connect your camera to your laptop or computer to download or work with images. Especially if you are on a trip and do not have a card reader or forget to take one with you. However an adapter should come with the cameras when you buy them.

It works well with my D50. It is something I wish I had known existed earlier, but it was also something I never really needed as I mostly worked in conditions that weren't conducive to power corn bound cameras.

What can I say? It is a glorified power cord. Useful for when you don't want to worry about the battery charge.

The main downside I encountered is telling people "watch the cord". I know it is like telling a boater "you may get wet", but it is something I've had to do enough to warrant a mention.

Durable construction and consistent output make Canon's ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit a great addition for any studio setup. I use this unit to power a 5D mk I during long duration time-lapse exposure sequences when batteries simply cannot last.

I was concerned the battery door might not close properly. I usually use the camera screwed to a mounting plate. The door closes fine. The camera mounts normally. Now I can keep the camera on for hours without having to stop and re-charge the battery. It would be nice if Canon routed the cable out the back of the EOS 30D instead of the front. But its not a huge problem..

I bought this for a 5D Mk II and it doesn't fit. The part of the adaptor that is shaped like a battery is actually a little longer than a genuine canon battery so it does not allow the battery cover to close all the way. Also, you need to awkwardly bend the power cord and jam it into a narrow side slot to make way for the battery cover to close. I was surprised that a Canon-branded part which lists compatibility with the 5D wouldn't work with the 5D. I use the 5D for video shoots and when the battery dies, the current clip is lost. I am now looking for another manufacturer that hopefully makes an AC Adapter Kit for the 5D.

AC adapter for 50D great for indoor studio type work. Between live view and time spent setting up,there is no problem with the battery running low, or needing to be switched.
Nothing flimsy about the product - heavy duty wiring, solid feeling transformer.
Does exactly what it is supposed to.

With this product I'm stop be concerned about power in my studio...

Comments about Canon ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit (100-240V):

Chances are good that if you're running AC, you're also running USB, video and/or a timer remote. It would have been nice, then, to have all those lines exiting a common point on the camera. Instead, this thing squirts out the bottom of the camera between the battery door and the lens. It also prevents the battery door from closing flush with the body, which might interfere with some plates or custom mounts.

Used for timelapse photography. You can have your camera running for months. I don't like that it uses the same connection as your battery (unlike Nikon's solution), so you are not insured against power failure.

Great for continuous power in the studio.

Comments about Canon ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit (100-240V):

Built well, works well. Easy and obvious to use. Ideal for studio work.

Comments about Canon ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit (100-240V):

My EOS 40D always works, even at -20F temps. It is "permanently" installed in a very frozen observatory and uses this product.

My only , very minor, complaint is that the cable exit is a little tight on the battery door.

Comments about Canon ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit (100-240V):

My AC power adapter is to date the most useful product that I've purchased for my camera. It allows me access to ac power without worrying about dying batteries...this is the perfect product for studio shooting where large groups are involved.

Comments about Canon ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit (100-240V):

Make things alot easier not worring about if the battery is going to go dead when taking portaits.

Comments about Canon ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit (100-240V):

I am using a 20D camera in a photo booth. With a battery, I need to change the battery part way through a session, which is a pain. The AC adapter makes the whole thing run smoothly.

The adapter fits very well into the battery space and functions well. For any tethered application, I would highly recommend this accessory.

Comments about Canon ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit (100-240V):

This ACK-E2 AC Adapter Kit is the best thing to have when you are shooting a reception or a kids party, because when you use up your battery life in the camera you can use the AC Adapter while your battery is chargeing.

Typical Canon high quality (and Canon premium pricing). All of the parts fit together well and operate as expected.
