Phaedra,
If it works for you, that's all that counts.
I agree it's clean and quiet, but not at all dependable (clouds), foolproof
(much wasted energy), or inexpensive. Bill Davidson's panel makes 3AH, which
seems like a minimum usable level, and cost $320. Add in a good inverter, the
price tops $500.
Check with your Canon dealer again, most camera manufacturers make a car
charger, or you can find one in the aftermarket.
