Great product2009-04-18
I have been using this IR light and it works great, I have had no problems with is and it is easy to use. I use it for paranormal investigating.
Great Product2009-03-14
I was a little skeptical when I purchased this light, but what a great little product. If you are filming at night this is the product you want. We use this for paranormal investigations regularly and it works great, very good distance.
The only drawback, which is expected is the batteries drain quicker, so have spare batteries when filming.
Very happy with the product.
S'port mom2008-12-30
Works a charm. Very simple to use. Has been a large help in the dim situations where the infrared was not desired because of turning everything a "spooky movie green". Glad I found it.
Worth the money2008-07-26
This item is definately worth the price.

The quality is great and it amazingly increased my night time capabilities. Although the light enhancement isn't that important and as great then the infared.

Anyways, this item is great for its price.
Great Little Light2008-07-16
When I first saw this light, I was disappointed by its small size. But very quickly, I realized that being small is desirable. It's easier to handle and less intimidating to your subjects.

I bought it mainly for its IR capability, which is quite good. You can light up anything in total darkness. Sure, seeing everything in a green hue is not as good as seeing color, but for projects that require IR, color isn't all that important anyway.

The "white" light isn't going to light up a room, but it's great to have on a number of occasions. If say, you are recording the time you and your friends stood in line overnight for tickets, this light is all you need.

I think it's a little on the expensive side, but I rate the product - not the price. If this light cost $1000, I would still give it five stars, but I would complain like hell about the price in the body of my review.

A Quick Look At the Professional Digital Camcorder
Introduction Professional digital camcorders are better than your analog camcorder, or even your digital video camera. The advancements that have been made in the camcorder industry are amazing. Just like everything else they keep getting more and more advanced, and shrinking in size. Even though we have seen much advancement, the price keeps getting more and more affordable. Professionals are not the only ones who can now enjoy the wonderful benefits of a professional -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A professional digital camcorder allows creativity and quality to meet, and the cost is far lower than it was only a few years ago. Even in the late 1990's most professionals were using Betamax professional quality analog recorders, though the professional digital camcorder was starting to come into its own back then. In 1997 at a press conference in Roswell, New Mexico during the 50th anniversary of the historic alleged UFO crash ...
Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
