Several months ago I purchased a Canon 450D digital SLR for astrophotography, but soon found that the batteries drain very fast during repeated long exposures (even when using a BG-E5 Battery Grip which holds 2 batteries). I have since purchased various Canon and aftermarket components to build myself both AC & DC power supplies for my 450D, and also constructed a couple of extra assemblies for sale. I have thoroughly tested both assemblies with my 450D camera, and they will also work with 1000D cameras (which are based on the LP-E5 battery as well).

1. DC Power Supply
- Canon DR-E5 DC Coupler (inserts into camera in place of the LP-E5 battery)
- DC-DC Converter with 12v cigarette socket input (output 7.5v, 2A)
- Cables are connected using DC power plugs
- See first picture
$90 plus postage

2. Dual AC & DC Power Supplies
- As above, but also includes an aftermarket CA-PS700 AC Compact Power Adaptor
- See second picture
$120 plus postage

Please send me a PM if interested.

Cheers,
Jeff
