Agreed - the Digital Canon stuff takes ALL of the EOS lenses and accessories. That gets you into a large pool of equipment with a proven track record.
My father-in-law has a 28-300 zoom lens for his 10 yr old Canon 35mm camera. I tossed it onto my Rebel and it worked like a champ, autofocus and all!
That backward compatiblity can not be overstated enough!
It also gives me a lot of assurance that any equipment I purchase now will be usable on what ever body I buy from Canon 5, 10, or 15 years from now! I wish I could say that for the bag full of Minolta lenses I have sitting in my closet
