Strengths: Compact, light weight, no separate battery required, auto-on setting, inexpensive!
Summary: This little light is an inexpensive and worthwhile addition to your video/camera bag. If you've ever wished for more light, this is a convenient and easy way to do that. It does not require a separate battery, and there is an auto-on setting so that it will automatically select when it turns itself on when more light is required. And since this video light can be had for less than $30, it's a no-brainer in my opinion.
It would have been nice to have a little more power but this is a fine line - you don't want the people you are video taping to be squinting because of the light you're throwing at them.
For the price, this is a great value and anyone with a compatible Sony camcorder should check it out.

Strengths: Compact, really light for travel usuage
Summary: It's perfect for my DCR-PC55 which doesn't have any built-in flash and video quality at night isn't that great. I can carry it with my camera since it's so small and no worries about additional batteries. It uses camera's battery for functioning.
After shooting with the lights on, the video quality is unbelievable.
I highly recommend it to people who don't have built-in lights in the camera.
