Does anyone know if the new STM kit lenses are backwards compatible with older Rebel cameras ? I want to keep my old XTi as a backup camera.

No, they're not, for two reasons. 1) These are EF-S mounts, not EF, so the glass is closer to the sensor. The older cameras aren't made for the EF-S mount. It will work, but not well. And 2) STM (STep Motor) technology works only in the new generation of Canon EOS cameras, specifically at the time I'm writing this the T4i, T5i, and 70D. On any other model of camera it will be the exact opposite of what you're expecting: noisy, skiddish, and slow.Don't bother with an EF-S or STM lens unless you have a compatible camera body. On a compatible camera body, these lenses are quick, smooth, and virtually silent. No, they're not, for two reasons. 1) These are EF-S mounts, not EF, so the glass is closer to the sensor.

The STM lens is for shooting Video...They are designed to make less noise when focusing...They are backwards compatible..Only they wont benefit you unless you are shooting video...

The STM lens will fit and work with the older Rebels. The benefit you will get is quiet focusing but you will not get the benefits of continuous autofocus without a camera that has Hybrid CMOS AF or Dual Pixel CMOS AF.

Hey, I have 1.1.3 6D, and the STK works completely fine. It works fine, the only problem which isnt a big issue for me is that it loses charge faster than the Canon batteries, but its not weak.

EF-S lenses aren't just compatible with the Rebels but are also compatible with all other current Canon dSLRs EXCEPT the 1D and 5D pro lines. You can still upgrade to a semi-pro 50D or near-pro 7D or future equivalent and still keep using all your old EF-S (and EF) lenses. Even if you decide to go pro sometime later on, Canon lenses hold thier value pretty well (more so for the higher end lenses).

Same here. It's pretty clear that the 18-135 STM movie kits are very, very scarce, if not non-existant. Lots of speculation about manufacturing problems, etc. Also just quite possible that Canon jumped the gun on allowing retailers to take orders without an adequate supply, and they didn't anticipate such high demand. One dealer in Hong Kong is claiming to offer them right now, and that's about it. You can't even buy the lens or the movie kit from Canon directly right now.

Yes. Canon does their best to make all their EOS cameras use the same lenses. Some features on new lenses (like the continuous AF of the STM lenses) won't work on the older bodies, but the lens will fit and work like any other lens you've used with single shot AF.

The Canon camera I am using with this lens is the Canon EOS Rebel XTI and lens works fine. You should be able to google the use of this lens with the Canon body and see the reviews. I have enjoyed the lens.

That's the beauty of the Canon EOS Rebel series...the lenses are interchangeable. I just upgraded to the T4i from the T2i and even the battery grip/remote shutter switches/and battery are interchangeable.

your lenses and both cameras use K-mount, so you can use your old lenses on the K-30. that being said, they almost certainly use a screw drive (with its familiar "whirrr, whirrr"), so you won't see the full autofocus speed improvements available with new SDM lenses (which just go "chick"). also just FYI some new lenses won't be backward compatible with your *ist. in my case, the only old lens i use with the K-30 is the beloved 50mm f1.4. I think the wireless flash should function normally, but that's actually a bit more complicated than the lens question. My understanding is that despite some spec changes, wireless P-TTL works normally, and wireless auto or manual flashes should work just as before.

I'm not really sure! If you put Canon Rebel XTi in the search part on amazon it might or should be listed under the remote shutter release for Canon, most of the time accessories will work for the dslr rebels. Hope this can help, I am just learning how to use my Canon Rebel T3i.

No problem then. All of your current lenses will work with any of the digital Rebels, the 60D, 50D, etc. and the 7D.By the way, if you still use the old version of the 18-55mm Rebel kit lens without IS optical stabilization, it may pay to get the camera with the newer IS kit lens. Its a much better lens than the old version.

When I went from AE-1 to Digital Rebel, I was not able to use the old lenses. When I went from the Rebel to the mirrorless, I'm able to use the lenses with the adapter.

You would get all the improvements in this lens using the T4i, T5i or 70D since they have the compatible hardware (new AF focus system). However, you will feel the difference in speed with the STM lens. I've got both lenses, the II IS and the STM. I'm definitely happy with the STM lens mounted on my T3i.

I (mostly) love my T4i. I also have an XTi and a 50D. My one minor complaint is that it has the Rebel's lower magnification viewfinder, and not the bigger, easier to see viewfinder of their higher grade crop-sensor cameras. It does just about everything else better than either of those other bodies I mentioned, and I'm almost exclusively using it now. I love the touch screen. I was out last evening shooting the comet, and I was making adjustments on the screen using fingerless gloves, which would have been clumsier using the buttons and wheel.

It's listed on my manual for the xti but i personally have not tried it, I'm using a 7D

Everything I see for Rebel xti is an EOS type camera. Being a 10.1 Megapixel, it probably would have to be formatted on your computer as a Fat32 format, as a lot of the older Canon would only format 4 GB or maybe 8 GB sticks. The only other issue could be that this memory is a type u2 which is a little wider than the type 1. I do not know which type memory yours uses, but the Canon cameras I have seen will work with the thicker type II memory. So if you can format the memory on your computer, you should be able to use it. If you are just totally unsure, buy a 8 gig or smaller CF card marked as Type I, as it will work in either slot and the camera will be able to format it.
