Hi,
Could someone tell me for sure whether the MVX330I has a built in video
light. The Product Specification on Canon's web site states that it does not
have a built in light. The Brochure howerver, states that it does.

Unfortuantly I have not be able to find this model in the stores nearby to
check for myself.
If someone has experince with this model, please let me know if the light
exists or not.

thanks, keith

It does have a 'night light' I beleive this is just for taking stills
though, not a true video lamp.

Keith,

It does have a built-in mini video light but according to a Dutch video
magazine "you shouldn't expect miracles from it". The range is limited and
it doesn't illuminate the entire scene. It also has a built-in flash for
taking stills which has a somewhat larger range.

Otherwise it seems to be an excellent camcorder. Should you need more
details: I downloaded the complete user manual from

No it has a "Super Night Mode" LED which works pretty well in darkness but
which is not effective as a true video light. It has a flash for still
shots. On the whole the camera is a cracking little camcorder and we're
amazed by the picture quality.
