SOURCE: Will my sunpak PZ4000 flash trigger voltage harm
The Sunpak PZ 4000 and 5000 were made for film cameras. I have one for
my EOS film cameras. It works just fine. I know this series of flashes
was not made for the digital cameras. It likely will not harm your
camera if the flash is designed for your camera brand. But some functions will not work.
For example, do not use a flash for Minolta on a Nikon.
You risk damaging your cameras electronics or frying the flash.
Get their PZ 20, PZ 30, PZ40 or PZ 42X for your digital camera.

ifyour nikon has a hotshoe it should work quite well. I use sunpak flash on both canon and olympus without any problems. Just connect to hotshoe and shoot.

I agree that 6 days is a very short life span for the flash. Your camera is defective and you should take advantage of the warranty since it's probably too late to return it.

Many flashguns deigned for film cameras - even really expensive ones - will not work with DSLRs.
I have a perfectly good pentax gun that cost me almost £300. It is fanstastic on my TOTR Pentax SLR but will only blat at maximum power on my Pentax DSLR. I had to spend another almost £300 to buy the new gun that will work with all the bells and whistles on my DSLR.
It looks as though Canon work theirs the same way.
