The SB-80DX has a trigger voltage of less than 5 volts. Your camera will be able to handle up to 250v, so you can use without problems.

Yes, and I think it even has a "traditional automatic" mode that will work nicely, even with a Canon DSLR.

Enjoy! Lon

You'll just need to manually set the exposure variables for auto exposure
