The short answer is "Depends" The long answer is: From 1971 to 1987, Canon SLR bodies and lenses used the Canon FD mount. In 1987, Canon introuduced the EOS SLR system. All EOS cameras use Canon EF (auto focus) lenses. They can also use independently made lenses with EOS type camera mounts. Canon FD and EF lenses have completely different mounting connections and are not compatible with each other's camera bodies. All Canon DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras can use all Canon EF (or independent manufacturer equivalent) lenses made for film or digital cameras. Most Canon DSLR's have an APS-C sensor that measures 22.2 x 14.8mm. (This is smaller than the 36 x 24mm image size on 35mm film.) In 2003, Canon introduced EF-S lenses that were optimized for the APS-C sensor size. The EF-S lenses will only fit on Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, and 50D cameras (as of 2008) and all Canon Digital Rebel cameras.

Will lenses from your Canon 1000 EOS film camera work on any Canon EOS digital?
The short answer is "Yes." The long answer is: All Canon EOS cameras use Canon EF (electro-focus) lenses. They can also use independently made lenses with EF type camera mounts. All Canon DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras can use all Canon EF (or independent manufacturer equivalent) lenses made for film or digital cameras. Most Canon DSLR's have an APS-C sensor that measures 22.2 x 14.8mm. (This is smaller than the 36 x 24mm image size on 35mm film.) In 2003, Canon introduced EF-S lenses that were optimized for the APS-C sensor size.

yes all Canon cameras are compatible via lenses to each other
Can a cannon 35 mm lens fit a digital cannon 35 mm?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Canon digital cameras are divided into two classes: Those with APS-C sensors (Rebel, 30D/40D/50D), and those with full-frame sensors (5d, 5d Mark II, 1D Mark II, 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III, ...). Those with full-frame sensors are the most similar to film cameras. Canon lenses are similarly divided into two classes: EF-S lenses, and EF / L lenses. L lenses (a subset of EF lenses) are indicated by a red band around the front of the lens, and are the highest quality Canon lenses. A 35mm Canon prime lens is an EF lens. It will work on any Canon digital camera. All Canon lenses work on all Canon cameras, with the exception that Canon EF-S lenses only work on Canon digital cameras with APS-C sensors (Rebel, 30D/40D/50D), because the lens is too small to cover the full frame of larger cameras (5d, 5d Mark II, 1D Mark II, 1D Mark II, 1Ds Mark III, etc.).
What digital camera would use the same lenses as a canon rebel?
All Canon Rebels can use either Canon EF (or compatible) or Canon EF-S lenses. EF lenses can be used on any Canon EOS camera. EF-S lenses, introduced in 2003, are made specifically for Canon EOS cameras with APS-C size (22.2 x 14.8mm) sensor. They can be used only on Canon Rebel cameras and on the Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, and 50D cameras (as of 2008). No other manufactuer currently makes camera bodies that take EF lenses. (Several years ago, Kodak had a full-frame digital camera that took EF lenses. It was a camera that was OK in the studio, but inferior for general photographic use. It was discontinued shortly after introduction.)
What lenses are compatible with a Canon Rebel 35mm film cameras?
All EF series lenses will work with the film Rebel or any other EOS film body. EF-S lenses are not compatible with film cameras or full-frame digitals.
Will lenses from 35MM camera work on newer DSLR cameras?
It depends on the brand of camera and the type of lens. Most Nikon film SLR lenses will work (in manual mode) on their digital SLR cameras. Many Canon lenses will work on new Canon SLR cameras, but you have to check compatability between the camera model and the type of lens. Sony purhcased the Minolta digital camera division, so all Sony Alpha DSLRs will use Minolta lenses.
Does canon EF lenses fit on canon rebels?
All canon EF and EFS lenses fit on all canon dslr's
What lens are Compatible with Canon 50D?
All lenses that have a "ef" or "ef-s" mount can work on a canon 50d. Be mindful, if you decide to go with a fill frame camera later on, the "ef-s" lenses will create heavy vignetting on those cameras?
