The Canon "EF" and "EF-S" lenses fit the Canon DSLRs. The lenses for the
"crop" Canon DSLRs, however, don't work properly opticaly on a
full-frame Canon SLR or DSLR.

The DSLR lines of Canon and Nikon are very competitive.

I've been looking at the canon T2i for a bit and now the T3i.
Trouble is...you ask yourself if it might be better to spend a couple more
dollars and get the 60D.
When you settle on that cost point...the camera guys then try to convince
you to get something with a metal body.... so we arrive at the 7D.
Trouble is... that 7D with a good lens and taxes soars up to the $2k mark.
I then back off and start the whole process again.
