Canon Eos 450d Digital Camera

I'm about to buy a new Canon EOS 450D digital camera, and my dad has old EOS film lenses that he is going to give me. Would they work on the new digital camera? and is there anyway to check and see if they do? (e.g. a symbol? etc.) and is there anyway to adapt them to work with digital ones if they do not work?
Thanks,
Do you know were I can check wether they are EF or FD

Yes your dad's older lenses will work on your 450D.

One benefit will be that since the lenses for his film camera were designed to cast an image circle that covered a 35mm film frame, you'll only be using the center part of the image circle on the smaller sensor - what's known as the "sweet spot" of the lens.

Another benefit is that if you ever upgrade to a full-frame sensor camera like the 5D Mark II your older film lenses will still work just fine.

I want to buy a new camera before taking a trip to Europe this summer.
What should I get ?

Canon PowerShot SX210 IS
or
Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi ?

Thanks.

it depends on what you will be using it for, and how often you will be using it, if you're just gonna use it for your trip to europe, get the SX210IS, if you will use it often, and find the need for the features, get the XSi.

Hello and thank you very much for your time answering my question. Please tell me which is better camera, Nikon D80 or Canon EOS Digital Rebel xSi / Kiss X2 (EOS-450D). I like Nikon D80 because it can take 3 frames per second and it have 10.2 MP. Canon EOS-450D have 12.2 MP, but someone told me it doesn't have image stabilized and I don't know if Nikon has that or not.

Thank you again for your help.

Look at the cameras for the features that will suit you.

If the number of available lenses, new and used is important Nikon has the most, followed by Canon.

The Nikon D80 is a step above the entry level Canon you are considering.

On stabilization:

Neither Nikon nor Canon has image stabilization on their cameras. Both camera companies use the much more accurate method of stabilizing the camera/lens combination within the few lenses where stabilization is necessary. There are times when IS can introduce just enough shutter lag that shooting action or sports, using a lens without VR or IS preferred.

Which of these two cameras are better and why? i've heard that Olympus is a great camera but it doesn't have such a big variety of lenses as the Canon cameras. Is Canon a good option or Olympus?
Thanks in advance as always!

You are right. Olympus does not have the number of lenses because it is really a new design ... 4/3rds. Most pros have been shooting with 35 mm cameras for years, so their composition is based around the 3:2 image ratio ... for intuitive shooting, staying with what you know and feel is really the only way to produce fluid image streams found in shooting projects like themed fashion or many sporting event photo essays

Canon, on the other had have been making lenses that fit their DSLR cameras made since 1988 (except EF-S lenses cannot be used on any of the pro 35 mm or DSLR bodies)

Nikon, the big daddy of them all can use any lens made since 1959 but for a handful of old fisheye lenses. Even the entry level DSLR's can use all the AF-S and AF-I lenses made since the early 1990's

While all three have excellent optics and reliable bodies, it all comes down to which company has the best depth for your style of shooting and the range of subjects you tend to shoot.
