I used a cheap one off eBay.
Although I had issues with the battery not clicking in and having to complain to the seller, eventually it clicked on. Not sure what was going on but don't expect the best quality from the cheap ones however it will do the trick.
Had my DSLR running at a camp for about 8 hours working fine!
Also the power cable that came with it doesn't have the black lines on the connector. I was told that is some sort of safety standard (can't bloody remember the reason) so chuck that cable away and get a proper one.

I think Camera Warehouse in Australia might also have them. Search for the DR-E5 adaptor.
I have one i would lend you but the battery eliminator end is locked inside my 450D body and blocked from removal by the carbon fibre cold finger support bracket - i would need to disassemble the cold finger to remove the adaptor.
You could buy this power supply:

And then you will need a battery coupler like this to go inside your camera:

I don't know what that little dummy battery insert costs so much. If you can source the dummy battery that inserts into your battery compartment, then i could lend you my power adaptor. |
