5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, October 20, 2007

I don't like using video lights in my productions, but unfortunately they're something that you must turn on when the lights are turned down. I use this light mainly during wedding receptions and the subject never seem to mind. If the lights are turned down pretty low in the room, subjects realize that the light will be spotty. This light also works well and even better as a fill light. What I like most is that gets it power from the camera; however, that means that it will drain your camera's batter faster if the light is left on too long. So it's a good idea to have a one or two extra batteries for your camera. Great light for the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars just what you'd expect from Canon, February 23, 2006

By	Michael P. Derksen (Manteca, ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bright enough to improve indoor graininess, but not so strong as to annoy the subject. Light is diffused enough not to put a spot in the center, and lights the entire field of view. For digital, nothing beats good room lighting, but this is a viable option for situations where that is not possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Little Light, March 8, 2007

By	Derek Sigmund "Video Editor" (Simi Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This light is surprisingly small and bright. It will serve my purposes of shooting indoors quite well. I might even have to diffuse it a little so its not so bright. And it is nice theat the light runs off of the camera power through the hot shoe.
