I upgraded to the 6D and unfortunately there is no onboard flash which is slightly inconvenient at times. Before I was able to use the Minolta Auto 280PX on my T2i with no problems. The 280PX requires 2V to trigger from the camera hotshoe: http://dpanswers.com/roztr/flash_show.php?id=654&pid=MIA280PX The T2i can output 6V from its hotshoe so that is why the flash would fire.

Does anyone happen to know what the 6D hotshoe can output?

Should I even be using such an old flash on my brand new camera? (EX: Something could fry :-\ )

Thanks!
