This flash is great. Personally I feel this is a little expensive for this particular light unit. The video light is great for lighting up objects that are pretty close but in the center of the frame. The flash part I am trying to convince myself that I didn't waste my money. The flash on my camera is already just as bright, but .. BUT .. this is my selling point. The placement of this flash almost completely eliminates red eye in my family photos. That right there is huge. I have a Sony Handycam Hybrid HDR-SR12 I love this camera and went a little overboard and started buying everything that fit on this camera. Lenes and Flashes .. Batteries. This camera is just perfect as it comes. Now that I spent all my money on these other addons I wish I didn't. Toys are fun and this camera is tons of fun as-it-is. Bottom line: This flash is great but not needed because of it's price tag. It will definately help indoor video but might become a little too bright for people if you're too close. The flash is great to avoid red eye. It is very tiny and fits perfectly on my camera.

I bought this for my Sony HD HDR SR-11 Handycam. We also use it as our camera, so we needed a flash. The video light wasn't as important but I would have to buy it in order to get a flash. Because I bought this online, I was a little worried about the compatability because the HDR SR-11 and 12 series are a bit more "special" with its own size lenses and things, and I was afraid this wouldn't be compatable, but it was! This product works just like intended - the video light works fine but I haven't had a chance to shoot anything in the dark yet. The flash works great too. The camcorder is not necissarily intended for use as a camera so the flash settings are behind a few menus and I think you still need to turn Flash Mode on before the flash works. Otherwise, having it's own settings on the flash itself is great because then I don't have to go through the menus in order to use it. The only qualms I have about it, is that it cuts the battery life to about half its run time. At least the camcorder tells you exactly how much time is left when the flash is on. I would recommend this product though for the amatur!
