Review on Olympus FL 700WR Electronic Flash by Mike Donathan

Looks and feels great. Works as it should until it warms up. Then tell the birthday girl to stop cutting the cake and tell the bride to take a break because my lightning got hot, someone please bring some ice cream. Actually for limited use this flash is great. This ensures a high synchronization speed. He's even capable of firing salvos. Loading time is good. Offers full power level control. But the problem is the heating. I use it on Olympus EM1mII and in general I was very satisfied. I tried shooting a very small engagement and after a few quick shots (not in burst mode) I found it stopped flashing red. This surprised me as I had never thought about this topic before. Luckily I had my trusty Nissin with me. I've never had any trouble getting my Nissin to heat up. Nisshin can also fire quickly. The only reason to buy an Olympus flash is the high speed sync which Nissin doesn't have. So for limited use this works well. The specification should state how many shots are possible before it heats up and stops.
