Hi, i just recently signed up to this site.

i also need advice on the ACD-RC ac power supply i got off an ebay auction. however when i received the item i read on the front that it says "for use with Canon A60, A70 powershot cameras," though on their site they claim it works with models up to A95. my camera is a canon powershot A95 and i do not wish to damage it in anyway by plugging in the wrong power cord into it. i plan to run my camera for long periods of time, perhaps a week or so of continual running using this cord to take time lapse pictures.


can anyone of you gurus out there help me out? was his ebay site just mislabeled or will it really work without damaging my camera?

the voltage on my camera says 4.3 volts, i am not sure what voltage output the adapter is since i havent opened it yet.

if it helps this is the auction for the link for the closed auction i bought.

Can I ask you a question? Why didn't you simply just buy the Canon ACK600 adapter to begin with? The reason you're not getting any answers is no one can answer your question. You buy some crap on ebay and then you want people to advise you? To tell you if it will damage your camera? How the heck does anyone know that? You should have asked before you bought it and anyone with a clue would have told you the same thing I'm telling you...don't take a chance. Honestly, I don't know why anyone buys that ebay garbage anyway. To save a few bucks? Any money spent on junk is money wasted, not money saved...

Sorry to sound harsh...but the tough calls are harsh...:)

meh, i attribute it all to good advertizing and i did ask about that cable you mentioned on the phone to canon. the sales rep didnt know squat and that power cord's description on the canon site said models up to A80, it never mentioned A95 sooo i went with the ebay one that said works with A95.

Good/knowledgeable sales reps are a rare breed indeed. Well, your Digipower adapter should work...it's just who really wants to feel responsible if your camera gets fried...but it should work...
