So I know that the digital canon cameras use the EF-S lens and that they can use film camera lenses right? How well do those film camera lenses work on digital cameras? is the quality good? Also I have a Nikon D3000 which is a DX format camera. I'm wondering if there are any Film Nikon lenses that can go on my camera? And if there are is that a good thing? If I were to use a film camera lens on my digital Nikon would the image quality still look good or what? Details please, thanks.
Answer
Actually what you think you know is incorrect.
If you attempt to use an EF-S lens on your 35 mm EOS SLR, you will damage the mirror in the camera and possibly damage the rear lens element. ONLY EF lenses can be used on 35 mm EOS and full frame Canon EOS 1D and 5D series cameras NO FD or FL lenses (made before 1987) can be used on the EOS cameras without a special adapter
All Nikon lenses AI and newer can be used on all Nikon dSLR's except for the entry level D40(x), D60, D3000 and D5000 cameras. All other Nikon dSLR cameras can use lenses from as old as the 1970's if they have the inexpensive AI feature added.
There will be no difference in how your images look just because the lens was made for use with film. How they look is totally up to you and your photographic stills.
I use four old prime lenses from the early 1970's on my current D200, D300 and D3 camera bodies.

DSLR Camera Question!!?
No D
I am planning on buying a new DSLR camera in a about a year. But I don't know what I should look for in a DSLR camera, since I am new to DSLRs. But I do know that I want it to be at least 11 megapixels and I want to be able to click the shutter very fast and the it will still take photos.(By that I mean like I don't want to be able to click the shutter, wait for the camera to load, but like click it every second and still get the camera to take the photo every second.) PLEASE HELP!!
Answer
Most dSLRs have similar basic features. The only true difference would be megapixel count. Other small features that would set some models apart may or may not be trivial to most users.
When looking for a dSLR camera, limit your search to Canon, Nikon and Pentax. They are the big three in 35mm photography and have been making SLRs for a very long time. Your basic concern then would only be price and brand. Canon basically have lots of lenses at a higher price range. Nikon have lots of lenses with more from other brands like Tamron and Sigma. Pentax have a small lineup of lenses but it makes it up with compatibility with all of the lenses it has ever made (with the oldest screw mounts requiring an adapter).
The talk about lenses is inevitable since your body is not expected to last forever. You expand your gear through lenses and when your body starts to fail, replace it with another one that takes your lens collection. That's why you have to choose your brand wisely from the very beginning.
About shutter speed, it doesn't mean that if you have a dSLR, you can click away as rapidly as you want and still get fabulous shots. This is the common mistake people assume. The dSLR, like all other cameras (film or point-and-shoot) depend on light. Without sufficient lighting, picture quality goes down. It all depends on how the user perceives available light and how he adapts to it with the camera. It takes a balance of shutter and aperture settings related to sensor sensitivity and amount of light to make a proper exposure. Most cameras, even the sub $100 point-and-shooters have the capability to take satisfactory pictures as long as you know what you are doing and give it enough light.
