At the moment, Canon sells three different types of interchangeable lens cameras, each of which has a different lens. Because of this, purchasing a new lens for your Canon camera may be a little more challenging than for other brands. Here are some things to keep in mind while you browse lenses for your Rebel SLR, EOS M mirrorless, or EOS R mirrorless camera.

You must ascertain which Canon lenses work with your camera before you purchase one. Determine the sort of camera you have first. That’s an optical viewfinder SLR for many users, especially those who have had their camera for more than a few years.

EOS Rebel, X0-D, and XD Canon SLRS When Andre Agassi, a wild-haired tennis star, served as the company’s spokesperson during the film era, Canon began using the Rebel moniker for its consumer SLR series. The Rebel line survived the transition to digital technology by using APS-C format digital sensors in place of 135 film cartridges. However, camera lines from the 10D to 90D, as well as the 7D and 7D Mark II, all share the same sensor format and lens mount. Midrange digitals didn’t use the branding. Both full-frame compatible EF lenses and APS-C compatible EF-S lenses are compatible with these cameras.

Readers outside of North America take note: Canon doesn’t use the Rebel branding there. The series is known as Kiss in Japan, and in Europe, Canon models have three- or four-digit designations; two examples are the EOS 1500D and 800D.
