 Must-have accessory for yr Sony Camcorder November 14, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
A video camera without a light is like a still camera without a flash -- if your Sony camcorder doesn't come with a light built in, you need this!
A couple of notes: This light is much smaller than I'd expected -- it's only about 1" across the front by 1.5" high by 1.5" deep. It doesn't sound like much, but it puts out a remarkable amount of light, enough to illuminate out your subject with an even, warm light, even from nearly 10' away.
The reason I can't give it 5 stars: it puts out a lot of heat, and it will cut your battery life in half (I've got the HDR-SR1). Both of these issues would be readily addressed by Sony providing an LED version of this light, but until they do, I don't think any other accessory could possibly give your videos the bang-for-buck that this one does.
 Nice, Bright Light November 9, 2006

Bought this light for my HDR-HC3 camera. First of all, this light puts out some enormous light. It has an auto, on and off setting which is also cool. Since it uses the battery of the camcorder, I noticed that the estimated life of the battery with the light on took around 50% of the battery (i.e. 150 mins w/o the light vs. 70 mins with the light). Since my camcorder records only 63 mins with a new tape anyways, this does not affect me if I have a full battery. Also, the light is light (not heavy). It may also blind the person or people you're taping as the light is VERY bright. For HD cameras, good light is key to get a good picture. This will definately help me out with the HD picture. Also, you can also use it during still picture mode with the light switch to the "on" mode.

I purchased this 3 watt light for my Sony DCR-HC96 Mini DV camera. Without the light, the camera's indoor performance is mediocre at best. I have to admit that I didn't expect much when I attached this little light to the camera. But boy, was I wrong - The difference is amazing! While 3 watts may not sound like a lot, it's enough to light your subject from up to 10 feet away with no problems. I am astonished at how much better the video is when using this in low light. Note that the build quality of this light is nothing special, and it does get extremely hot after only a few minutes of use. But you will be rewarded by the big difference it makes on your video. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I bought this light for my DCR-DVD92, which doesn't have any lamp integrated. Makes notorious improves for poor lightning shots. But be prepared with another than standard battery, because this light takes half of your battery's power. I also bought NP-FP90 for it (this battery will give you 150 minutes with this light on). Also the storage pouch is useful. Fits both: light and NP-FP90 battery.
