Can someone help me please?
I have a new Canon - model A470

The manaul reads that the ACK800 Is the optional accessory for this
model!

Yet nowhere on the NET do I see the AC800 as compatible with the
A470! They all seem to list all the compatible cameras, but I never
see the A470 as one of them. Does anyone have a guaranteed : yes
compatible, or not compatible to the A 470?

Also, can you recommend a dependable after-market AC800? I saw one
for 19.00 with a 3 year warranty....but a warranty is only as good as
the company selling it.

A million thanks...
Mikie

AC_K_800. in your message you left the k out twice. probably you have
searched for ac800.

lots of vendors advertise it as compatible. ultimately the vendor can
guarantee.
so inquire before placing an order, send some emails and the first to
respond gets the sale.
the sellers on ebay are always quick to respond.

Canon says in the manual it works then it works and if it doesn't then
sue Canon.

The cord's going to bust on any of them long before the electronics
give out. Unless you absolutely positively _need_ to have the camera
plugged into wall power just get a charger and some Eneloops.
