Thank you for the info, extremely helpful!

My adapter arrived today and it's the same one you're using, but sadly I paid double the price and to my surprise it wasn't what I've ordered, this draws power from an outlet when on ebay the picture was suggesting that it's a converter for external batteries.

I don't see what the problem is - with the unit you have just bought, you have the best of both worlds.

You can power the camera from any 5v USB source, whether that be a USB mains adapter, or a USB power bank.

Seems ideal to me.
