I have had no luck locating a AC adaptor for a Casio 8000. Thier Web site is not much help and I can't stay on hold for hours to their main #.

thanks

If you want to find an AC adapter made by the manufacturer, it's gonna be pretty hard! I myself had to go to radio shack and buy one there. Just bring your camera into radioshack and say "I need an AC adapter for this camera, can you help me?" That's it. Simple.

Thomas Distributing is selling a line of digicam power adapters that I think come from Unity Digital. A potential advantage of these over the Radio Shack units is that the Unity units were sized with specific digicams in mind. You can find Thomas at www.thomas-distributing.com

If you plug in your camera to an adapter recommended by a radio shack sales person and your camera explodes who pays for repair?

Be careful!

If the Casio takes AA or AAA got to Thomas and get their rechargable batteries and recharger. Their recharger is a fast charger... about 2 hr.. then it goes into a trickle charge. Even recharge from you auto. Nickel Metal hydride batteries donot have memory problems and they last a lot longer than most batteries. Not only do you have a guarantee that they won't damage your camera but it is really a much better solution for most people than an AC adaptor. Why tether you camera?

Buy a standard 6V DC adapter, center positive plug. If possible, get one of the newer switchmode adapters - most run from 100-250 volts AC and guarantee 6V output, rather than the older transformer model which are single input voltage and rarely deliver the advertised output. The switchmode supply is also mutch more efficient and runs cool.

Go to Radio Shack and get a 6-volt adapter. You can also get one there that allows you to choose between several voltages - on this kind of adapter just move the selection tab to the 6-volt setting. You should be able to get one of these for around $15 or so.

Go to Radio Shack and get an adapter. You can get a straight 6-volt model or one that allows you to select from a variety of voltages on the same adapter. For that one, you just move the selection tab to the 6-volt setting and you're set. You'll spend around $15.
