You probably can't go wrong if you get a SONY HVL-20DW2 - 10/20 Watt DC Video Light. I use one with a PD-150 and VX2100 for receptions, along with a Lumiquest softbox. Just attach the softbox as far away from the lights and do not cover the vents; the light can get hot. These cameras need little light. I use these only when moving at the reception and for informal interviews. For wedding party/relative interviews I use a light kit.
