Digital Rebel (300D) and and Vivitar 285HV

[mikishots]

The 285HV has a published trigger voltage of 12.0 Volts. My unit is at 13.3V.

Canon USA says anything over 6V may damage an EOS camera. "May"...what the hell is that?

Your call. Oh, and you can use the EZ flash, but you have to use it in the manual mode - thank God it's digital, or you'd never be able to dial in the correct amount.

According to Vivitar's support site the voltage on the newer 285s is approx 6v. I use mine on my 10D without any problems. If you're not sure you can get a voltage tester - Radio Shack should have them.
