Flash for E-520, is this one a good pick?

It's $95. Good reviews but only two people reviewed it. I'd probably combine it with that remote although maybe not. In fact I'm not sure that would ever get used since we have a timer on the camera.

I cannot find now but a few weeks ago found a well received flash for $200. I realize there is a long reload time on these things since they don't have their own battery source, but that is ok. We just want to take better pics inside of the kids basically. $200 is ok but $100 is better 😉

285HV is fully manual. Not so good for on-camera use since adjusting flash output settings manually slows you down. Great for off-camera use though.

If you want to use your flash on the camera (in the hot-shoe), stick to an Olympus-made TTL flash. For under $200 I'd go for the Olympus FL-36.

Thanks, that indeed appears to be the one I should be getting for this camera based on a couple of reviews, too.
