DSLR accessories...

[AKLforever]

Does anyone know a good site to get accessories?
Like, I found a remote for my camera (K100D) and it was only a hair less then 20$ at 47st photo online, best price I could find for it. But they dont have the AC power cord K-AC10.
Amazon has one, but it has a U at the end, not sure about messing around with that. But even that is 60$, which to me seems like a lot. On the pentax site, they sell it for 90USD, what ever that is, US Dollar maybe? Not sure. If so, heck no, thats killer for a power cord, hehe. Can u use any 9v power cord with the right adapter?

Out of curiosity, what do you need a power cord for? I think it's a lot easier and cheaper to just keep some good rechargables around.

For a remote, you can buy them anywhere including eBay, since they're very easy to make. I made mine with a little submini phone plug and a couple pushbuttons (both from Radio Shack, under $3) and an old phone cord, with a "Tic Tac" container as the "box" that the buttons go on.

Pentax and Canon use the same remote so you should be safe with one for Canons if you can find it cheaper.

Everything I've referred to only related to a wired remote... I haven't played with a wireless remote at all.

Cool, ok.

I just bought that wireless remote from 47st photo.
What I wanted the power cord for is this, I have been using my TV to view the pics, just to see how the pics look on my TV, looks great by the way. But so far, the batteries last a lot longer then my old PnS. A lot longer, maybe I dont need it, huh?

Yeah, I'd just go with the normal rechargeables for TV viewing... an extra set is just as easy to carry around as a power cord.

Battery life can have a lot to do with the LCD... since you don't use it as much on a DSLR, that helps with battery life, although more is used up in other places... but overall, you'll probably do better. Especially if comparing to a PnS with only two AAs.
