Any cameras you can plug in instead of batteries only?

A consumer priced DSLR or something that has as much control as a DSLR. It just gets annoying to have to change batteries every 60 minutes, and using a battery that didn't have enough time to recharge all the way yet. I have a Canon T2i now, but couldn't find any plug in adapters for it on the market.

You ain't lookin' too hard.

That's the official Canon one. You can find many knockoff ones for far less cost.

You'll probably find it's just one more cable to trip over, though.

You're probably better off buying more batteries, and extra chargers. You can find two batteries & a charger for $20 (not Canon, but good enough). Heck, two batteries alone can be found for $7.00.

Wow the stores where I live sell batteries and chargers for 40 dollars each and do not sell plug in adapters. Thanks. I will check for those adapters on ebay as well.

H-22, you really need to start buying accessories on line as suggested!

I've dozens of batteries and I believe 6 chargers and an inverter to charge up stuff on my vehicle.

The longer you're in business the more of these things you'll accumulate.
