Great Value Camera and Photo

I used to have an Olympus FL-50R flash with my expensive camera. I no longer have expensive cameras, but EVERY camera takes better pictures in better light. This flash works very well as a TTL flash. It is much more powerful than the built-in flash. For around $50 this is a great deal. Please note that you should be careful with this as this is not high quality. I had no problems. I mainly use it with the FZ200 for indoor (bounce) or outdoor fill lighting without superzoom.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons

I can't find any in-camera flash control menus other than the usual on/off/red-eye options. Also, the GF2 doesn't appear to have focus-assist (the camera's built-in focus-assist lamp…
