Summary: a big disappointment
Review: I ordered one for my HC40, but when I installed it the light was facing me, not the subject! I phoned Sony and after a long runaround they told me the light was supposed to be compatible so it must be defective. They recommended I return it. It sounds like just what I need, but I'm afraid if I order another one I'll have the same problem.

Summary: Useful gadget for good price
Review: I've used this light a lot since purchasing it and it has worked well in most situations that would cause chroma noise in dark environments. Use little battery power but is surprisingly bright in short range shooting, say up to max 10 ft. Combine with a Sony camcorder's Program mode for Sunset/Twilight and you can get good, clean and decently lit video.

Summary: Light turns 180 Degrees
Review: This light is good. Note that the video light head can turn 180 degrees. So if appears that the light is facing backwards, just turn the light head 180 degrees. It is listed in the manual.

Summary: Nice
Review: Very nice and convenient but a little dim past 10 feet or so.
