I don't have a 300d but do use 500w flashes with my Nikon Coolpix 5700. I was advised to be very careful connecting flashes by synch to a digital camera otherwise the camera can be seriously damaged. I've opted for an IR trigger that fits onto the hotshoe of the camera and triggers the cell on the lights. If you've got cells on your lights it's a good option and cheaper than a Wein adaptor. I use the histogram on my camera too.
Hope this is a bit more helpful info.
