Lenses are very Expensive so I'm trying to use my two old lenses into a New Digital Camara

they should work fine, but you need to be aware that the sensor of a canon digital slr is smaller than a frame of 35mm film. this means that the same lens used on a digital body will not give the same field of view. there is a 1.6x 'crop factor' because you are basically cropping out the edges of the image projected by the lens. the effect is to make the lens behave as if it were longer - more telephoto.

to get the effective focal length, multiply by 1.6 - so a 50mm lens on a digital body will work like an 80mm lens on a 35mm body. this is good if you like long lenses, but bad if you like wide lenses. so you may have to invest in a wide angle lens anyway.

Almost certainly yes, unless the lenses are old. Take them along to a camera shop and try.
