I have the 150 also, and I would suggest not using those adaptors.  I believe 
I had found a multivoltage adaptor at home and set it for 4.5 Volts and it 
worked fine. I do not have the camera in front of me right now, but it 
probably has a positive/negativ sign to show which pin should be connected to 
the positive and which one to the negative line from the power adaptor.
