EF/EF-S Lenses

Like other EOS Digital SLR cameras,
the EOS Rebel XSi is compatible
with over 50 Canon lenses in the 
EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide
angle to super telephoto lenses,
including Canon’s EF-S series lenses
that are manufactured specifically
for APS-C sized digital sensors such
as the one in the EOS Rebel XSi.
