In another group, I read about the Lenmar ACON6, which supplies 2.1A @
6.5v. The voltage is correct, the current is just shy of the 3A that
the Pentax supplies, but it seems to be just overengineered. I have
used it extensively for portraits and sensor cleaning and it works
like a trooper. It was real inexpensive too.

2.1 Amps vs. 3.0 Amps is only 70% of the current rating the maker
believes the power supply should present to the load.
I don't call that "...just shy of."
Not when you're dealng with power supplies!
I had read about the characteristics of the load before I did this.
2.1Amps is way more than enough, I dont know why they would design
theirs for 3A, unless they intend to use the same supply for other
bodies not yet released, i.e. 645D.

Does anyone know the output voltage of the Pentax *ist D power
supply? I have a couple of high quality Hewlett Packard supplies that
provide 5V DC at 1 amp. On a scope the output is nice and clean. I
wonder if one of these would do?
