The Olympus flash is very ex wherever you go.... some people get the Olympus cable and use a 3rd party flash to save costs.

zhapchit, I thought of getting an external flash too. But the sync cord alone costs $90+. Not that it's grossly expensive, but I can't convince myself to pay $90 for a piece of wire.

If you managed to get an external flash system set up, let me know how it is, and how much you spent altogether yar!

I think WAI got the solution.

maybe you want to try out the 2nd hand shops? might be able to find a 2nd hand cable

then you can reuse the flash with the S602Z

is the sync cable proprietary?

These Digi-slave flashes are highly recommended in Oly forums in US. Check out Ebay stores remember seeing super online offer for the Digi 2000 model @US$49.90... excellent price for such a powerful zoom/tilt/swivel model.
