Customer Reviews

works fine
There is not really much to say about this product -- it works fine, the connections are secure and it has a very long cord. But to answer a previous reviewer: it would be more convenient if you didn't have to remove the batteries in order to use it but I think that capability is something you give up when you buy a small digital camera since space is at a very high premium.

Saves the batteries!
The product works fine, like it is designed. However,if the camera were designed to allow a plug-in directly into the camera so the batteries would not have to be replaced by the adapter, it would be much more convenient and make a lot more sense.

Works, but troublesome to connect and not really needed
I bought this AC adapter for a DSCW100 camera just prior to my vacation. I figured that after a full day of sightseeing, photos, and videos, the memory stick would be full and the battery might be low on charge. Since we'd be getting back to the hotel late each night, and since it takes about 3 hrs to recharge this battery, I wouldn't be able to recharge before I wanted to transfer the images to a computer. So I would need the adapter to insure that the battery didn't die in the middle of a transfer and possibly corrupt the memory stick and images.

What I found was the I could take hundreds of images and many minutes of videos (few flash photos, though) and still have plenty of battery life left for even another day of shooting. So I never really needed the AC adapter.

I did try it a couple of times. It worked fine with the attached cords for this camera. The extra AA battery connector cord isn't needed for the DSCW100. One minor issue is that the connector is nearly square with only a very small protrusion to define the alignment direction with the camera. Its hard to see and difficult to connect in less than excellent lighting (and with my 55 yr old eyes).

So my rating is only 3 stars because, if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have made the purchase.
