Strengths: This greatly increases the nightshot field from what came with the camera. Nightshot is brighter and now further reaching thanks to this!
Summary: I'm a member of a paranormal investigation group so IR nightshot is a must. What came with my camera (Sony HDR-HC5) was good but not as good as it could be with this attachment. I can already tell a drastic increase in the night shot capabilities. This is definitely recommended by me if you need to do anything in low light.
