To DollarBill : I also own an "original", Canon "Digital Rebel" [ Canon's first "pro-sumer" digital SLR ] , that was the model 300-D (I think) like you describe. I recall it captures about 3.5 Mega-pixels, introduced around year 2002-2003, with "silver" plastic body. I still have it, but on the shelf - with my old. beautiful FILM cameras... The "Digital Rebel" ( 300D) uses the LARGER, "COMPACT FLASH" memory-cards. That was about the size of a "book-of-matches" : 1.5 in x 1.5 in , about 1/4 in thick (or less). THE BATTERIES AND CHARGER HAVE ALSO CHANGED - but these are IMPROVEMENTS. Batteries are smaller and lighter, but still hold the same power... Some high-end, PRO digital SLRs are still using "Compact Flash" memory cards, but the vast majority of DSLR cameras, and most "consumer-level" video cam-corders, are using the smaller, "SD" memory-cards. Using the original, "Digital Rebel", years ago, a "large" Compact Flash" card would hold 256 MB, or 512 MB. 10 years ago, a Compact Flash card, holding 1 Gigabyte ( 1 GB ) was considered "large", even "risky" - if you are making professional, "product" shots, or other "pro" work, or photojournalism, because "entrusting" 100 images, or more, could be "lost", if a memory-card "crashed" (by static-electricity, or other malfunction) . In a nutshell, if you have the "old", or "original" Digital Rebel (300-D) - that uses the larger, "Compact Flash" memory card - NOT the smaller "SD" cards, used today. Your desire to use the same memory-cards, or batteries, is understandable, but DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM BUYING A NEWER CAMERA. SD cards are fairly cheap, likewise batteries. You will enjoy one of the newer cameras - better images - and SD cards, and batteries, are just part of the expense. Good Luck to you... - Mark, Michigan, USA ; 15 JUNE 16 -
