Camera fry danger with Vivatar 283 flash?
I recently acquired a Canon XTi dSLR camera. I'm relatively new to digital photography, but I've spent many years using high end film SLRs. My question is can I use a Vivatar 283 flash as a TTL device triggered from the camera's hot shoe without potentially causing any damage to the camera? The Canon Speedlites are rather pricey & if possible I'd like to use my trusty old Vivatar unit, but certainly don't want to risk frying the camera. Any thoughts or advice?
Put scrambled eggs in so that it will fry the eggs instead of the camera.
