Does anyone have the ACK-E2 AC adapter? I am thinking of getting one (yeah like I need more stuff). Is there any "real" use of it besides sensor cleaning and bulb exposures? Its more pragmatic to use a CF card reader to transfer pics.

If any of you are using it, it would be great to have inputs about it.

Firmware upgrades, too. My D60 insists you use AC for sensor cleaning, but then it came with the battery replacement, which plugs into the charger. I'm thinking of modding a spare to work with an external battery pack (maybe for cold weather shooting)

Two ideas right off the top of my head are time lapse and Astrophotography.
