Summary: Nikon Camera AC Adapter
Comment: Expensive as hell, but essential for certain kinds of work. Like exposure times of several hours (as in astrophotography) or with the D300 having it take pictures at intervals without you even beging there.
Summary: Good for Nikon D50
Comment: This power adapter works for the Nikon D50. It comes with the ac plug portion, which is not pictured.
Summary: Great for Time Lapse
Comment: I bought this adapter because I wanted to take photos with my Nikon D70s for use as time lapse movies, and because the battery won't hold out over a whole day for this purpose. Using gphoto2, I hooked my camera up to an Ubuntu box via USB, and wrote a bash script to take a picture every 60 seconds, starting at 6am. This adapter allowed the camera to be powered all day long from 6am to 6pm without interruption.
One important thing to note, is that although the photo shows only the power brick and the cord with the special Nikon camera power plug on it, this product DOES come with another cord that attaches the power brick to the wall.
I would have given this 5 stars, but I think the pricing is outrageous. The only part of this product that is "special" is the plug that fits into the camera. The rest (power brick, power cord) is just generic, and probably very cheap to produce. However, for powering your Nikon DSLR camera, there doesn't seem to be any alternative.
