No Separate Batteries! 
2008-09-07
This camcorder light was a must for our home video needs. It drastically reduced the grainy, low light picture quality. We are much happier with our indoor video footage since using this light. The autosensor is helpful, and we really like that it runs off of the camcorder battery and does not require separate batteries.
Good seller, OK product

I FOUND IT TO BE VERY EASY TO USE EXCEPT FOR THE ATTACHING OF IT TO THE CAMERA INSELF, IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT TO FIGURE IT OUT, IT IS SMALL, SO IT IS EASY TO CARRY ALONG. AND IT WORKS VERY WELL.
OK

The amount of light output by this device, requires you to be up close, and is not great at illuminating more than one subject.
An absolute must add accessory !!! 2007-08-09
If you've already purchased your camcorder then you either already know or will find out very soon that it is a nice, versatile camcorder but has significant lighting limitations out of the box. In a perfectly lit room or a bright sunny day there is no need for this light/flash. But unless those are the only situations you plan to record under, YOU NEED THIS LIGHT !! You've just invested a good chunk of money in the camcorder, don't skimp now......you'll be glad you bought this when you see the difference it makes.
Running off of the camera battery is a nice feature and the auto-sensing light (for video) is handy. In just a few seconds you can go from video to picture taking (or vice-versa) and have the necessary light for both.
Oh, yeah....it's very compact, too.

Sony Combination Video Light & Flash - This video light accessory is perfect for dark or low-light situations. It's powered directly from the camcorder, so there's no need to worry about additional batteries. Plus, it powers on automatically when the lighting is poor. In addition to video, it helps your still photography as well. It has a built-in flash that you can use with your Handycam's still photo feature. If you think you'll ever be in a poor lighting situation when filming, you owe it to yourself to have this available. Because you only have one chance to capture that once-in-a-lifetime moment. Light is powered by the camcorder - no need for additional batteries Lamp Type - Xenon Lamp Power Consumption - (approx.) 3 Watts Lamp Life - (approx.) 100 hrs. Unit Dimensions - (approx.) 1 1/4 x 2.5 x 1 7/8 Unit Weight - (approx.) 1.9 oz. Color - Graphite Silver
Small but pricey 2005-10-05
I just received the HVL-HFL1 (video light and flash). It is small, light and compact but since I ordered, I realize the HVL-HL1 (video light only) is available and is about $100 less. Since the DVD-403 comes with a flash (albeit small), I am going to return and reorder the HVL-HL1 which is about $40. The video light was the main reason for ordering this for me. If you do want the flash capability, it does look well built and stylish (and did I say small). I guess the small size is a benefit of using the camcorder battery (rather than built in).
Work, fits and looks great 2005-09-20
