Anybody know... can older Canon SLR lenses be used on the new Canon digital camera body somehow?

From what I understand Chipmunk, you can use EF and EF-S lenses. There are adapters available for Canon in order to use other lenses.

If they are AF they should work fine. If they are manual focus they are probably FD mount, and won't fit without an adapter.

If they are FD you probably should sell them and buy EF lenses. The third party adapters don't have a good rep.

Both Canon & Minolta turned off a lot of their customers when they made the switch to AF & changed mounts
