Is there a Canon digital SLR that will take normal 35mm EOS lenses or do they have to take digital lenses ?
IF they do whats a good model to buy ?

EOS Autofocus SLR system uses EF lenses which are compatible with DSLR

thanks for the info and link,very helpfull

Rommo,

Take some good advise from moi TRY and get one that takes BOTH ef-s and EF as you can save a few quid here and there

Or better still try and get Full Frame of a lower PoV

Look for 1.3 rather than 1.6 theres a few cameras that do that

Your problem with 1.6 is a 28mm lens ends up as like 46mm lens

EF Length x 1.6 = Digital Length

thanks again,
so whats a good model to buy ?

Well if you can afford it and you're used to using your EOS optics on a film camera and want to maintain the same field of view then the EOS5D has got to be a good bet if you can afford it since it has a full sized sensor (and hence no 1.6x "magnification" effect.

a nice camera but out of my price range....any other canon models any good ?

If that is out of your price range then the other Canon's will be too. Have a look at the Nikon D50 - Curry's currently have this for ?389 which is a stunning camera at that price!!!

er...not quite right,I am not a pro and so dont need ?1.800 worth of camera !!!
somthing upto ?500 will be ok as long as it uses 35mm EOS lenses.
using a nikon will not be ok as then I will have to buy more lenses !!!!

Shop around then as you should get a 300D or 350D for just over ?500
