Thanks Choj!
I used my Olympus E-620 with the 14-54mm lens. I used a FL-36R flash too.
Olympus has bad rep these days... but my cheap gear can certainly compete with many of the C and N cameras that cost more. I think my combo mentioned cost me about 800, excluding the flash. This lens is high grade - it is weather sealed (although my camera is not...).
I have been considering a move to a better high ISO camera, and eventually I will. For now, using flash works fine, since I can't yet afford what I would like to have (Nikon D700 with some quality lenses).
Olympus is known for their great colours straight out of the camera. I don't have to tweak very much in post processing.
