I tested this exact model for voltage, amperage and stability using a Fluke Digital Multitester with a 1% accuracy across the range, and utilizing a stabilized 120V input from APC. The Powerline put out 9.3V (on the 9V setting), and 2,880 mA (2.8 amps) across all voltages selected. The claimed rating for mA is 1300, so this was more than double. The output for voltage was not stable. This is why one reviewer’s camera was probably ruined – not the polarity reversal.
Rating: 1 / 5
For the price paid, it does a good job, BUT it’s not “universal adapter” as the add says. BE AWARE if you’re using a 220V outlet, it does NOT work. It works only with 110-120 V and not 220V, that’s enough for it to NOT be qualified as UNIVERSAL. This is the main reason of such a low rating.
Buyers be aware. If you’re looking for a 110-220V this is NOT the right one.

I bought this for use with my MIDI keyboard. I plugged the adapter into a power strip. A week later, I moved the keyboard and unplugged the adapter from the power strip. Imagine my horror when the adapter came free from the power strip minus one electrical prong! That’s right, it broke off and stayed stuck in the power strip. Needless to say, I took it back. (Luckily my keyboard is fine, and so am I, as the main power strip wasn’t plugged into the wall.)

The only other reviewer most likely bought an adapter too powerful for her camera (a 1300ma charger for ANY camera??), or she had the polarity reversed; either way, an innocent power supply is blamed for human error. Please evaluate your lack-of-common-sense factor before “reviewing” an inanimate object that gets the better of you…wow!

This product came quickly but when I used it to charge my digital camera, it ruined it.
