This is a great idea if you need to have your camera ready to go for video. Video eats up tons of you battery. Even with extra batteries, I had to get these. Some studio and site shots kill my battery. That's why i chose to buy a couple of these for my cameras. The only down side to this is you should not leave your camera going for long periods of time without letting it cool down. The camera sensor gets warm and can alter footage. Nothing major but something to think about with purchasing this. In other words just know your equipment and this will be a great add on for the camera. The other thing is that you'll have a cord dangeling out of the camera, but it's out of the way of the tripod.

I purchased the AC adpater to explore, make camera settings and download media without discharging the battery. That it does but connecting it to the camera is awkward. The small rubber door to fit the cord through to close the battery door is very stiff, once you locate it. If you are using a battery holder then you have to remove it to load the adapter in the battery well. More engineering needed on this one. But once installed, works as advertised.

This is a handy tool for in studio photography or long time lapse videos. I think the price is a bit much for what you receive, but good still.

Comments about Canon ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit:
Fits easily into the camera and (so far) has no bugs. my only real complaint is that I wish it didn't come in three separate parts...seems like just two more chances to lose something during pack up.

Comments about Canon ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit:
My favorite part of using this is that I don't have to remove my battery grip! Great thinking Canon! My shoots often involve me having to wait on my subject to arrive, then step in front of the camera and expect me to be ready at a moment's notice. That can be nerve racking when you're forced to work on battery power. Really like being able to leave the 5D MkII on continuously without worrying about juice. Great product.

Comments about Canon ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit:
I'm producing a documentary film.
I couldn't find it in Malaysia. Even the Canon branch in Malaysia told me there is not any Adapter for Canon 60D!
I was lucky and I found it on this website.
It is so good when you want to record a film in the studio because you are not worry about your battery charge level.

Comments about Canon ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit:
What can anyone say about an AC adapter? It lets my 7D run from AC power. I suppose it would be helpful if it also had a battery charger as part of the unit like my old camcorder did. Then I could charge two batteries at once.

Comments about Canon ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit:
I run a photo booth style business so I purchased the ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit by Canon. It is a great way to power my camera without draining the battery. I also got it because I was doing some stop motion animation and the process drained the battery very quickly. It's been very useful thus far, no complaints.

Comments about Canon ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit:
Bought to do still life photography using live view function on Canon 5DMarkII. Works well; do not have to worry about battery going dead in the middle of you shooting. Would be nice if it had a pilot LED to see that it is on.

The product itself is great, no hitches thus far in my use for time lapse photos. One downside is the price for the kit. A little expensive, and no other similar products.

Comments about Canon ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit:
I just finished a 72 hour time-lapse from the 18th floor of the US bank building in Nashville. This beauty made it possible. It was easy to use and will work with the Canon 60D as well.
Plus, it isn't too bulky so it's easy to keep in your camera bag for those long shoot days when you may be worried about batteries running out of juice.
