Can a 35-80mm lens from a non digital slr canon eos3000 be used on digital canon slr cameras?

For instance the canon eos 1100d digital slr?
Thanks

I think all of the EOS cameras use the EF mount, so you should be able to use the 35-80mm on a digital SLR.

You wouldn’t be able to use lenses from an EOS digital SLR on an EOS film SLR, though… they are EF-S lenses and have an extra piece that the EF mount doesn’t have.

A Good Canon Digital SLR Camera for Novice Photographer?

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 05:20:20 +0000

Getting into photography but new at the camera so I thought I ask.
Also I don’t have too much money so something between 400 and 700 and has a good lens.

Any Camera within the "Digital Rebel" set of Canon DSLR’s are good for beginners and have amazing picture quality and lenses. I started out with the Canon Digital Rebel XT and I’ve had it for more than 6 years and it’s served me well, and still manages to beat the new camera’s of todays time. I’ve even have kids run by and knock it off a desk onto a tiled floor, and it worked fine after that. They are easy to clean and come with wonderful instruction manuals that are great for beginners.

I’ve included a few links in the sources, the second link gives you some great information about the Digital Rebel set of Cameras, and they are highly recommended and surpass the competitors in quality, and are easy enough for beginner hobbyists and even if you want to go pro they can meet your needs.

I love my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, and it loves me.

Good luck on your camera quest! Photography is wonderful.

Will the lenses from my old cannon film camera fit a new canon digital slr camera?

If your film camera is early 80’s or before then no. These cameras used FD or FL lenses that push into place and are locked by a rotating ring. These do not fit a digital SLR without an adaptor which, to be honest, is a total expensive waste of time.

If your film camera is an auto-focus EOS then these used EF lenses which will fit and work on any Canon digital SLR.

The above only applies to Canon manufactured lenses.
If you have older Sigma lenses for your EOS film camera they will not work on a digital SLR. The electronics are incompatible so they will give "Error 99 (?) lens error" if you try to use them at anything other than full aperture. Some can be rechipped but most cannot. I found this out the hard way when I bought a cheap 2nd hand Sigma lens for my EOS450D.
Based on this experience, other older non Canon manufactured lenses may also physically mount onto a Canon digital SLR but may not be electronically compatible.

Canon digital SLR camera you reccommend?

I really love the quality of Canon and they’re ‘professional’ cameras. Anyone know the best camera for someone that’s comfortable with different options and is in the intermediate level of photography?

The "intermediate" Canon dSLR would be the Canon 60D.

There is an other maker of "professional" cameras and its "intermediate" camera is the D7000

Here is how the sensors of those two cameras compare. You may want to take some time and visit a camera store to hold both of them in your hands to see which you really want

If you are at all interested in shooting in low light, you can see which is the better choice

Can I use the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras on any Canon SLR camera?

admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:26:25 +0000

It will work on any of the current Canon DSLRs and the oldest models going back to the EOS D30. It should also work on 35mm EOS bodies. What it probably not work with however, are the very old 35mm T-series and even older manual bodies like the AE-1 of the late 1970s.

Best cheapest Canon Digital SLR Camera that can perform HD video?

admin — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 03:24:36 +0000

I prefer Canon Digital SLR Camera’s compared to typical, cheaper handheld consumer camera’s because I prefer a professional approach to my work. If you can suggest any other camera with these abilities, that’s great. I’m looking for a digital camera (more preferably Canon Digital SLR) that can take amazing pictures as well as camcorder(HD) abilities. Also at a reasonable price, and I’m talking about below the 600-700 dollar mark(or in between).

I would suggest the Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens and EOS HD Movie Mode.

It has a very reasonable price, $591.53, and has great reviews on Amazon.

There is more information about this camera, and others on my photo website, here:

Is a canon DIGITAL SLR compatible with a 35mm film canon SLR Lense?

My mom is getting a new camera and shes considering getting a canon DSLR. She was thinking about just getting the frame and using the lenses from our old 35mm canon SLR. Can we use the lenses from my 35mm camera on the new canon DSLR?

If your Canon 35mm film camera is an EOS series then the lenses from it can be used on a Canon DSLR. However, a lens from a Canon DSLR like the XS, T1i, T2i, T3i, T3 cannot be used on your Canon 35mm EOS film camera unless its an EF mount. The Canon EF-S lenses will damage a Canon 35mm film camera or Canon full-frame DSLR like the 5D Mark III or 1D Mark IV.

Canon manual focus 35mm film cameras used the FD lens mount.

Canon abandoned the FD lens mount for the EF lens mount when they introduced the auto focus 35mm EOS series around 1988.

Canon has, in my opinion, further confused things with the EF-S mount lenses.
