Some strobes (and infrared strobe triggers) use high voltages in the trigger circuit. For mechanical cameras, this is fine ΓΆ€” but many newer, electronically-driven cameras (especially electronic 35mm SLRs like the EOS or digicams ΓΆ€” or for that matter, EOS digicams, like the 300D) can be damaged by excessive strobe voltages.

That is the opening paragraph from this web page //www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html

Ths site is a saviour to anyone looking at a flash ... there are some very dangerous beasts out there!
