Canon Power Supply Kit
This is a must have. This is included with the S10 or S20 when bought outside the US. If you buy the camera in the US, buy this immediately. As with most digital cameras, either Canon eats batteries rapidly.
Unit quickly recharges, typically less than 2 hours.
It's a bit expensive, but really necessary.
Has attachment to have camera directly plugged into wall so you can download pictures to your computer. This is absolutely necessary if you transfer via serial connection.
Necessary, but too expensive
This kit works great, and is absolutely necessary to get the most enjoyment out of your S20 (or S10). Without this kit, the camera will eat batteries and put in the poorhouse.
The kit itself is easy to use, and will recharge a battery in just a couple of hours. It seems to work fairly smartly to make sure not to overcharge batteries.
The only real downsides are 1, the cost (Canon should have provided this in the camera, IMHO) and 2, you can't recharge a battery and run the camera off of AC at the same time. That said, if you have an S10 or S20, you really need to purchase this kit.
A few word
I bought S20 to photograph my kid last year and I have not thought of changing to any other camera. The only problem it has, besides expensive print, is the battery life. I did not have time to do research on it so I kept buying 2CR5 batteries from Walgreen, which were like 12 bucks per piece. Until very recently I suddenly woke up figuring I needed to buy rechargeable battery to prevent those expensive one-time 2CR5 batteries from draining my pocket. DK110 (the power supply which include the charger and the rechargeable NB-5H battery) is an absolutely must-buy for Canon S20 users - go get it right after you bought ur camera. Of course the camera will be heavier with NB-5H but it's not much difference. I have done this a year late but it will easily pay off in a couple of months for me. And also I would strongly suggest you buy an adapter for your laptop so you can simply put the CompactFlash storage card into the adapter and slide the combination into your laptop's PC card slot (CardBus II slot). It's a lot faster than USB connection and does not consume any battery from your camera. The PC card adapter is from SanDisk.
