This was a gift that I totally researched on U-Tube. I bought 2010 x-mas. Son takes it on all vacations, beautiful for everything, never mentioned lighting problems. Check it out on u-tube, there are lots of videos about the recorder, they shoot it where you can actually see the results first hand. Maybe you will see a low light or night time video and they also take it out of the package and go over everything with you first. I found it the best deal and the best recorder without complaints, my son has it 4 years now.

The Sony DCR-SR42 handycam shoots very well in low light conditions. I use it in ghost investigations exclusivly in zero light . I do use external Infrared for brighter video but the nightshot it comes with is very good too. Great camera and I will buy another with out hesitation. Awesome camera.

Very good in low light situations - rarely have to use the flash indoors-eh!!

Yes, I sent mine back. I don't recommend it. You can get better flash on here for same money or less. Look up Yongnu.

Yes! Awesome low-light w/o flash pictures, best I've seen on a point/shoot cam.

The cords that come with Pocket Wizards will work however you will need a hot shoe adaptor because your flash does not have a cord adaptor to plug into it.

Nice camera! Yes, it will work. I find in most situations it works best in constant on rather than in flash mode.

I'm not sure what your flash needs are but it sounds like you use flash pretty often so a decent one might be a good idea. I recently replaced a Sigma 500 Super that I appear to have worn out with a a 430EX II. Nice flash - good feature set, powerful enough for all but the largest venues, not too big, recharged VERY fast and silently and tilts AND swivels so you can always use ceiling bounce no matter what orientation you're shooting in plus, if you ever upgrade to a 580EX, you can use the 480EX as an ETTL slave. AND, starting April 3rd, Canon will be offering the following INSTANT rebates: SPEEDLITE 580EX II - $50 SPEEDLITE 430EX II - $30 SPEEDLITE 220EX - $30 That will put the 430EX II around $240 or $250.

Hi There, I use canon so I'm not 100% sure what your flash/camera capabilities are. I have one attached to my camera in the hotshoe and one attached to my flash via an external connection cord that comes with the pocket wizard. The pocket wizards communicate with each other to fire the flash. Hope this helps.

I don't think it will be a problem. I just shot a film and used this light as my primary and it worked fine- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3kNwW75z88&list;=PL-jvR5L4qMbXdIod18v1BqQJf3_fkF74N&index;=4. Another light I was thinking of getting was the Aputure Amaran 528. Here is a video showing their capibilities- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abo-CgPjWo4

I used it to take photos for E-Bay but only under controlled light conditions. Using normal ambient indoor lighting did not work well for me and the flash created shadows. Ultimately got rid of this camera so don't know if an external flash can be attached - sorry.

No, the Rogue would dwarf this small flash. What you need is something like this: Fotasy DF90EX Professional Omni-Bounce Diffuser for Canon Flash Speedlite 90EX (White)It softens the light by sending it up and around the room and bouncing it back, in effect using the walls as a light source. If you get one, don't use it outdoors because without something to bounce the light from (the sky doesn't count) it just consumes power from your flash.

I have used it with the NEEWER CN-160 160PCS LED Dimmable Ultra High Power Panel Digital Camera / Camcorder Video Light and the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash with no problems. With the video light I extended it to its max height and it was very stable. It is a very bright light, best used indirectly off the ceiling.

I have Yongnuo flash. I use this as an extra flash. It is ok. Quality is fair. Having said that stick with Pocket Wizard. Little expensive but reliable. I have four of these and never had a problem.

You do need the Manfrotto 026 to be able to mount it to the light stand. You don't need a different flash. I use an SB600 or a Sunpak 383 all the time with great results.

I use it with my larger strobes so a speedlite will be no problem. Just remember that in order to change any settings you will have to open the Velcro in the front to get to the speedlite. They are nice for the price.

I wouldn't recommend it, I had nothing but trouble with the HVLF60M flash. It overheated constantly for no apparent reason. I would go with one of Sony's less expensive units, or buy a third-party flash.
