THE OM-D E-10 has a built in flash. In my opinion any flash you could get for under $100 would avail you little improvement over the one you already have. If you can find a used Nissan or Olympus you might do alright.

I bought SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB 95MB . Also has a number 3 and a number 10 in a circle. The Extreme Pro is good if you don't want to have a long wait between flash pictures. It is fast. Make sure you get the right memory card or you will be disappointed in the camera's speed.

what works best for me is use some gaffers tape and tape to your camera strap. that is what i do for weddings. for local shoots of shorter time i try to have a shirt with a pocket and just stick it the pocket. this unit will really help with cycle time on flash and I make for an hour or more before switching out batteries. Buy good rechargeable s and you are set for a lot of shots.

Oh yeah...I had one of those on my old Olympus C2100UZ. That 'll work! Thanks.

I've only had mine for about a month but no problem so far. I would definitely contact Olympus support. I had a question about the camera when I first received it and they could not have been any nicer. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would then contact Amazon for an exchange.

I do not use an external flash on my camera -- only the built in flash. One reason for this is that the camera does so well catching the light (one of the main reasons that I bought the camera). I have on occasion increased the ISO settings to help the situation in low light. Another reason that I bought this camera was because I did not want to tote extra lenses and accessories. Carrying around an external flash would run counter to this. I rarely miss have an external flash.

Hey Julie- I too had this same question so I went out and purchased the Lumix DMC-TZ5. I found the camera to be very good in the zoom department and video was nice as well. The reason I returned this camera was because of the picture quality. Panasonic seems to me, to have yellow pictures. Even though there is IS, I still had many shots that turned out to be blurry. I owned a Pansasonic in the past and had the same issues on that camera. I now own the Olympus Stylus 1010 for about 2 weeks. I had a mid-size camera for years and loved it but wanted a pocket size camera that would do justice. I am very picky and have bought and returned 4 different point and shoot cameras. The Olympus 1010 is the first camera that I have fell in love with. Very fast, very small, and the image quality is awesome! I have a very difficult shooting base but this camera far exceeds any other camera I have purchased or spent many hours playing with. I am so very satisfied with my purchase and Olympus really has come through with this camera. Hope this helps!

I had purchased the wrong flash to work with my camera so returned it. Sorry I couldn't help you. By George

I have the Canon 5d Mark ii and works ok... honestly I would recommend a Canon flash.. it will cost more but probably more reliable. if you are just looking for occasional usage it is ok for that.

This flash will work for that camera. Keep in mind it is not TTL so you may have to adjust the exposure as you use it.

Thanks very much. By the way, we have a Canon G12. I feel it too distorting both colours and proportions and of course slow between 2 clicks. What would you suggest to improve on "fidelity" and speed: A. Canon S100 over Nikon P7100 (and Olympus XZ-1?)?B. Olympus E-PM1 over Nikon J1? C. or Nikon V1 solves everything? PS. I have no Nikon lenses so I am not stuck on Nikon. Thanks

It's suitable, the top shelf Nikon flash. But, I would purchase a less expensive Nikon flash, save the money for other accessories.

I emailed Olympus and they gave me a few stores that might have it in stock. I found it at Dodd Camera and placed an order online. I hope this works :\.http://doddcamera.com/

The camera has a built-in flash. The kit does not come with any additional flash

I am hoping to use this on an E-510 with their 50mm macro lens and extension tube which have 52mm threads and a 52-58mm adapter. Assuming you purchased this flash, are you using the same set-up and what has been your experience? If anyone else is using this with a similar Olympus camera, I'd like your comments also.

I also bought the Slingshot 100 for my Olympus E-510 kit. It works great, but I wish it has just a smidge more room. A hypothetical Slingshot 150 would be perfect. In any case, enjoy the camera. It should take some great pics for you.

No need to purchase anything. But I would suggest you get a Canon original flash. These China made die very early.The flash tube burns out.
