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

I use a TT560 as my all-purpose spare with G1 bodies. It does "dwarf" the body visually, but I don't find it all uncomfortable to use, even with a 6x8 softbox attached.

I'm not the least concerned about the size in use, but it is awkward to store if you try to pack down. It takes up more storage space than a body/lens.
