Old lens usable on new camera?

Hello-I have an old film SLR camera (Canon EOS Elan 7E) with a handful of Canon EF lenses - got when my now college age child was born.  Rather than have the lenses collecting dust in my closet, I was considering getting a Canon DSLR body but I don't...

Tamron 18 - 400mm f/3.5 - 6.3 for the Eos 30D?

Eos 30D w/ 75-300mm vs Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS ?
