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.

Canon 5d mk 4, Canon 6D, EF 70-200mm L f/2.8 IS mk2; EF 16-35 f/2.8 L mk. III; Sigma 35mm f/1.4 "Art" EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro; EF 85mm f/1.8; EF 1.4x extender mk. 3; EF 24-105 f/4 L; EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS; 3x Phottix Mitros+ speedlites

Why do so many people say "FER-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?

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.

EOS 1D, EOS 1D MK IIn, EOS 1D MK III, EOS 1Ds MK III, EOS 1D MK IV and EOS 1DX and many 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
