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 bought a Fodox TT350O recently ( https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341875-REG/godox_tt350o_ttl_mirrorless_camera_flash.html?c3api=2572%2C113041717267&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_Mjm6JuM2QIVhxePCh13xAW9EAAYASAAEgJEfvD_BwE ).

It is very cost friendly <US$75, only 200g in weight and reasonably balance on GX7/85. It has a GN 36, supports TTL, auto zoom from 24mm to 105mm (eq to FF), tiltable/pan head, slow and high Speed Syn, slave mode, off-camera flash (by flash trigger or wifi), rapid charging, so far not found it warm after intense use, and quite energy efficient (2 ordinary AA alkaline batteries could take 100+ shots and still going strong)...

If you don't mind the size and want a more powerful one, there are a few upper models of Godox to choose. I think Mod Martin has just started a thread on his V860II at https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/60727143.

I bought that flash recently too. Very compact and well balanced on my EM10. I'm going to get a bigger Godox to for something more powerful and so I can use both off camera (I have the trigger as well) at some point. I sold my Oly FL-600R flash when I got the Godox. The price of the Godox is low enough that you could probably get the TTL smaller flash as well as the larger model and the trigger as well and still not spend any more than the FL-600...
