You can get the same thing at Jaycar I am sure, just make sure you get a switchmode/regulated type to avoid wasting battery power and potential for overvoltage.
Sounds like a cheaper option for sure. I haven't yet seen my 350D - so I have no idea what type of plug they take. Is there actually a separate DC-in plug, or do you have to use a dummy battery?
