Can Canon Speedlite 533G and Sunpak Auto 405 G Thyristor still be used on DSLR ?

Hi Folks,

Today I was shopping around Peninsula and saw these hammerheads Canon Speedlite 533G (at TCW) and the Sunpak Auto 405 G Thyristor (at Adelphi).

The Canon Speedlite 533G looks like this

The Sunpak Auto 405 G Thyristor looks like this

What is a Thyristor? Any different with flash by the way?

Are these two:

1) manual hammerhead flash?

2) going to fit on a 300D and 10D? (never mind about E-TTL, i dont use it often nowadays)

I am wondering any people here in Clubsnap used these two flash before in the age of film times? Can we still use it in these digital times?:P

Regards
