Hi, I'm looking for a basic flash mostly for my E-M10 w grip, but also E-PM2. I will not have a chance to try flashes before I order.

Looking at these models: neewer TT560, Mcoplus/triopo TR950 & amazon basic flash.

Are they too big for the E-M10?

Also on eBay there's a Digital Concepts 528af flash that has TTL with older E and E-P bodies. Would it be compatible with my cameras?

Thanks

Pretty much any flash will look or feel big on a very small camera, the trick is not attaching it to the shoe and in this case no flash will be too big.

Look at buying flash according to how you want to light, don`t simply go by what will look or feel good in the flash shoe, thats just being a little narrow minded.

Don't  care much about looks, uneven weight distribution might be a problem, but the reason I asked is because I read somewhere, but can't find the link, that big flashes' weight could stress the flash mount...

Thanks
