camera, however I am looking for a new digital. Since I loved my Rebel, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the digital Rebel EOS, and if the lenses from my 35mm Rebel EOS are compatible with the digital EOS?

The digital Rebel is a great camera and it can use all of your auto-focus lenses with one tiny reservation... digital Rebels magnify your lenses by a factor 1.6. So a 50mm prime effectively becomes 50mm x 1.6 = 80mm. In the same way, a 28-135mm zoom will appear to be 45-213mm on a digital Rebel, etc.
Canon started with digital Rebels in 2003, and by now they're up to the third version. The first one was simply the digital Rebel (a.k.a.300D), then in 2005 the Rebel XT (350D), and in 2006 the Rebel XTi (400D). Each model is better than the previous version.
Here are two in-depth reviews for the new Rebel XTi:
