• Small but Powerful, VERY Useful Light
  The "Canon Video Light for Advanced Accessory Shoe" is one of my favorite accessories for the Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom. This little light provides just enough fill to warm up the video, without blinding the people or washing out the image.
  Highly recommended!
  

• Paranormal Investigator Review of Canon Video Light
  This light is used on my Canon Optura 30 MiniDV camcorder. I purchased this light for use during indoor investigations. The light mounts onto the advanced accessory shoe and is activated by the camera when recording. Just flip it on and when you press the record button it will light up.

  This light does work as designed - its really small, fixes on to the AAS hot-shoe with very little effort, and has a nifty auto mode that makes it come on when needed.

• Design flaw
  The light works okay .. a little better than the built in light on my HG10 .. but this item suffers from a serious design flaw. It sits really low, so if you attach an optional lens on the front of your camera you get a shadow cast across the bottom 50 per cent of your frame .. the lens's shadow! Just crazy poor design. This light should sit a lot higher.
