Is the Olympus FL-36 a good digital flash for the Olympus Evolt E500 digital slr camera?

Question

I am planning on buying an Olympus Evolt E500 with a digital flash. This is my first SLR and I don't know that much about cameras/flashes. So I was wondering, is the Olympus FL-36 a good flash to use with that camera? What features does it have that make good? And most importantly, can you use it wirelessly and will it detect when the camera will take the picture without having to use the on-camera flash? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, the flash will work well with the camera.
Wireless? I don't think so.

However, I do know that the Nikon D80 and up have wireless contolled flash, and even remote control shutter.
