Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon CA-PS700 Compact Power Wall Adapter for Canon SX1IS and Digital Rebel XT/XTi & XS/XSi Cameras
Customer Review: Better priced alternatives
Summary: 2 Stars
If you carefully search (via Google) you can find a "7.4V 2A CA-PS700" for your Canon camera for $8.95 with free shipping. It is identical to the Canon labeled product. I generally buy from Amazon, but Canon's price is simply too high for this item. I have purchased the item and it works great for 20% of the cost of the identical Canon adapter.Customer Review: Poor Choice
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this for a Canon S2 IS. Works fine; but it's heavy and cumbersome because of the two-part cord with the transformer in the middle. I won't be travelling with this. A couple of years ago I bought an adapter from Digipower for another camera. It is light, compact, and cheap. Wish I'd tried to get a clone adapter for this camera too.Customer Review: Was really trying to find s&h

I couldn't find a way to determine the shipping & handling for this item and wound up ordering it. I haven't received it yet, 9/5/10.Customer Review: Not Compatible With Canon DSLRs (i.e. Rebel series) Without Converter Battery
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
