Canon 4517B003AA Review by A. Cardin "Tim" (Marietta, GA)

This thing works but very disappointed in the quality. Feels like a cheap imitation and doesn't fit in battery compartment of my T2i/550D well at all. It's very hard to insert and even harder to remove. Buy one of the knock-offs and save some money. I'm going to try sanding it to make it fit better.

Canon 4517B003AA Review by W. Edwards "library lady" (Spokane, WA)

This product does its job well - nothing amazing, nothing wrong.

OUR NEEDS: After just a month or two with our Canon T3i, we found we really needed an AC adapter. For some people, they will need an AC adapter if taking pics from one spot for long periods of time (wedding photoshoots and the like). For us, the problem was the awesome Eye-Fi feature.

We have our T3i set to automatically upload pictures to an online drop-box when it's in range of our home wireless network. While this solved the problem of remembering to upload pictures to a safe place, it created the problem that the Eye-Fi upload feature ate our battery alive - especially when uploading video. Rather than constantly have a dead battery when you're wanting to grab the camera and leave the house, you can now come home, plug your camera into the AC adapter, and set the battery to recharge. Then, when you're ready to leave the house again, you have uploaded pics AND a ready-to-go battery.

PROS:

* This does the job.

* In more detail, one cord attaches from an outlet to the adapter box, the adapter box then attaches by a smaller cord to a battery-pack adapter. The battery-pack adapter slides into the battery slot on the camera. The battery slot has a little rubber hinge on the side that allows room for the AC adapter cord.

* As mentioned above, we can now upload for as long as it takes to get our video and pics off the Eye-Fi card, all without eating up the battery and having to recharge a dozen times inbetween.

CONS:

* This set up is fiddly.

* More specifically, with the extra cords and battery adapter having to come in and out, it's just not as slick a set-up as I'd like. Ideally, I would not have to take the battery OUT every time we came home to do uploads. Ideally, I would love a docking station of sorts that would both act as AC adapter AND charge the battery at once. Of course, this isn't ideal, but it gets the job done.

SUMMARY: I'd really give this more of a 4.5 stars - not that there's anything wrong with it. It's just kind of a fiddly thing to fill our needs.

Canon 4517B003AA Review by Lee Watkins

There are cheeper alternatives, however, if you want true quality and performance, buy the name brand. I was extremly pleased with the product.
