Comments about Canon Canon VL-5, 5 watt On Camera Video Light, Powered by the Advanced Accessory Shoes on Vixia Camcorders:
After I read so many reviews of this light I decided to try it. I've only had to use it twice and I've been please with it both times. It's light weight, and easy to use (after I upgraded the firmware on the camera). Although it integrates with the camera very well, I think that Canon overcharges for it's accessories. Maybe in a year or two someone will make some off-brand products but until then we're stuck paying "gun-in-the-ribs" prices. My next purchase will be the add-on microphone. I would recommend that others buy that accessory first, then consider this light.
