 Not Powerful Enough for E500 August 5, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought the FL-20 for my Evolt E-500 DSLR and was very disappointed that I'm actually returning it. It's just not powerful enough for a DSLR. It's good for some simple close-up shots. I would not recommend it for the E500, or probably the E300 either. Sounds like it works well with the other type of cameras.
If you have a DSLR, splurge on the FL-50, which is what I am looking at doing.
 Highly recommend for photographers that don't edit photos December 27, 2004

I just bought this for Christmas because our 8 month old has such bad red eye, even with the red eye prevention feature in my digital camera. So many previous shots have had to be edited to get rid his red eye it was getting frustrating and was becoming a chore. It is great.
Since I don't like to edit photos, except for the occassional overall color saturation, I knew from my 35mm photography that the best way to get rid of red-eye was an external flash / one not mounted on the camera. I'm more of a digital photographer than a digital imager, and I'd rather spend time doing other things if I can by taking a better photo rather than using an photo editor(not that there's anything wrong with that, that's just my priority)
I shot 73 pictures on Christmas with my Olympus C4000 zoom(great camera), and didn't get any red eye. Now his eyes look blue, like they're supposed to. I can now print the photos right away and not be disappointed with red eye.
The only downside is that with the flash and bracket, you can't just pop the camera in a pocket, and it looks more like a pro's 35mm camera. But I will only attach it when I know I will need it so that won't bother me.
Even when it's attached, you don't need to turn it on for every shot. There are several flash options, that include TTL metering, and you can have it work with or without your camera's flash. The flash adds longer range to your camera for flash pics as well.

I just bought this flash to match with my Olympus C5050. This flash works flawlessly. Don't be fool by its small size; this one is exceed my expectation for versatility for power, portability, and very cute too. You will save lots of battery power from your camera . This thing sure beat my Promaster 5000 series with Olympus module. If you own the Olympus C or E model this is must have thing. Highly recommended !!!!!
