(5 stars) - Impressive!
This flash is excellent for the photograph trying to get their business of the ground on a budget. It has really performed well. Impressed!

(5 stars) - When you need light on a thight budget
I chose this flash due to my budget. But have not been disappointed. It may have a slow cycle time. In my type of photography with light, controlled environment that has not been an issue. For macro photography of animals/insects it has not seen that much action lately. Waiting on light stand to try out some strobist style shooting with this flash.

(4 stars) - Good flash for beginners
I'm new to the whole external flash scene, and this seemed to be my best option. I've used it a handful of times yielding some good results, but there are better flashes out there (for more money of course). The FL-36 is a great flash if you are looking at getting into flash photography with an Olympus SLR. You can also use it as a stand-alone flash unit, which is rather fun!

(5 stars) - Why I recommend it...
Lightweight but still firm enough. It can tilt and swivel, so you can bounce it whatever you like. It offers zoom range from 12-42mm, and light isn't too hard even without dedicated diffuser. You can use it in auto-TTL mode, auto-non-TTL mode or as a fully manual flash. I would like to see it running on 4 AA's instead of 2, which would give even quicker recharges, still it's not too slow with 2 batteries (~6 secs).
I knew exactly what I was buying and it's everything I expected it to be. Price is also reasonable, so I recommend it.

(5 stars) - Olympus FL-36
I bought this flash about a month ago, and wish I had bought it sooner. I have an E-500, and have had problems shooting in low-light situations. The flash solves these problems. I have successfully taken outdoor photos in the dark, as well as a bunch of indoor shots. It does take a few seconds for the flash to regenerate, but by the time you review a photo on the LCD screen, you are ready to shoot again. This flash should suffice for 80% of my shooting needs.
