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

Someone else posted a photo. Great idea when you are asking about size. So here are the extremes:

BIG. A flash that will bounce in a very large room. GN50-is rating. TTL from $150, Manual from $65. Olympus FL-50 and many many others.

SMALL. Useful for a small-medium size room/group. GN10-ish. <$100. Usually TTL only. Olympus FL-LM3 and many others.

Old enough that my two cents used to be worth something.
