Review on ENEGON Rechargeable Panasonic Camcorder 3200K 5600K by Joshua Reid

As a former avid photographer, I have a bunch of old Nikon film cameras (does anyone remember "film"), lenses, motors, flashes, accessories and - for this test - two giant tripod mounted studio lights with 500 and 1000 watt bulbs with a blue cast and a color temperature similar to daylight. I've used studio lights primarily for close-up and tabletop photography, and they gave off so much heat that they could melt the subject if I wasn't careful. While I miss some aspects of film photography, one thing I don't miss is working and sweating indoors with the oven door open in front of the studio lights. My photographic activities these days are mostly limited to taking photos for craft beer on Facebook. the site I manage. Using the camera's built-in flash is a surefire way to screw up close-up shots of beer and food, so I only shoot in natural light. As a result, my shutter speeds are almost always relatively slow, and even with in-camera image stabilization, it's difficult to achieve critical image sharpness. However, I have never considered leaving my old studio light because it is so hot and difficult to control. This ENEGON light panel is a turning point in my photography! This is one of the most stylish gadgets I've ever seen. For a long time. Because of its small size (3.5 x 6.75 inches) and light weight (13.3 ounces with battery and diffuser shade), there's enough light for anything I'll ever use it for. The color temperature can be either warm 3200K or daylight 5600K or both, and two roller switches smoothly adjust the light intensity from off to blind for each color temperature. Snap-on translucent white, orange and blue plastic diffusers provide additional light control. I leave the white screen on for softer lighting and to protect the working end of the LED panel, but it's fun to play with the color screens for creative effects. The kit includes a tilt, swivel mount adapter for installing the light bar onto the camera's hot shoe. A short (12 inch) USB cable and charger will keep the battery charged, although you will need to use your own power plug. This little device is thoughtfully designed, well thought out, very well made and extremely versatile. It's a very effective application of modern lighting technology to a practical problem that has plagued serious photographers since the days of George Eastman. This definitely solved my problem. Well done ENEGON! I've thought long and hard about donating or recycling my studio lights and now that I have this ENEGON light bar there's no reason not to.
