The x is for xenogamy
Hey guys, i've been stupid and have planned a 3 week holiday to the states, flying out on Saturday and I only have one battery and no car charger.

The particular camera (Canon EOS 450D) I have uses the LP-E5 battery, and so if anyone could point me in the direction of a place in LA where I may get a spare battery and car charger in that area, it would be very much appreciated! And if you know prices for that sort of thing, that would be pretty swell.

(Edit: This may seem like a stupid question, but seeing as i'm from the UK, the only store I really know of is Best Buy, and I've heard pretty bad things about the place in the past. I'd quite like to pop into a proper camera shop if I get the chance!)

You won't have access to regular mains plugs either?
Modern chargers tend to take any voltage and AC frequency so you just need a suitable cable/plug converter. (My Nikon charger says 100-240V ~ 50-60 Hz, i.e. "any commonly used AC system.")


Yes but i'm not sure how often, its a tour company holiday but 95% of it is going to be camping. Most of the time i'll have access to power will be through the minibus charger ports.

Sammy's Camera are around in various places in LA and should have what you need.

Thanks, i'll have a look for those when i'm there. I'm going to try get everything I need tomorrow before I go, but my local camera shop is a bit poo poo.
