Lens compatibility

I have a Canon Rebel 2000 SLR and a Rebel XT DSLR. Can I use the same lenses for both cameras?

Yes.

All Rebels are crop sensor cameras. All will mount crop lenses (EF-s) and also mount full frame (EF) lenses.

Actually the key word is EOS. That means it will make use of the current ef or ef-s lenses. As stated the Rebel or crop sensor line can use both. The FF line can only use ef, they won't even mount ef-s lenses.

One caveat... you cannot use the EOS "EF-M" lenses. Those are specifically designed for Canon's "mirrorless" cameras (Canon EOS-M series camera bodies).

But you CAN use any other Canon EOS lens with your camera. This includes:

Any EF lens
Any EF-S lens
Any TS-E lens
The MP-E lens (there is only one)

The only EOS lenses you CANNOT use are:

Any EF-M lens
