Sunpak 3000 Question

I've done a search on this on this forum and last review was about 6 months ago and didn't really answer the persons question. So, I'll ask.

Several months ago I purchased a flash (non-TTL) off eBay and thus far, I have been pleased with it. I would like one with TTL capabilities and the Sunpak offers that. However, I have read some reviews that it wasn't compatable with this camera or that camera, it can burn your camera up and all other kinds of stuff. So, my question is, what is the real scoop about this flash? At this time, I can't afford a Canon flash or any of the other "high end" flashes.

Any help would be appreciated. I have a Canon T3i just for information purposes as well as a Canon Rebel XS.

Thanks again for any help.

I don't have that flash but it's sold at Walmart, I think others have bought that model so I don't think there's much chance of it "burning your camera up" - go down to Wallyworld or Target and try it out.
