Other makers' lenses will work just fine.
Once in a while a third party maker's lens will work with older EOS cameras, but then have some compatibility issues (electronic) with a new model. This was especially the case for some of Sigma's lenses designed/made prior to the introduction of the Elan 7 in 2000. If you send the offending lens to Sigma they will update/replace the electronics to restore compatibility. See http://www.sigmaphoto.com/html/pages/faqsb.htm#22
There have been some Canon ads that exploited this problem (along with Nikon issues with non-AI/AI/AF/AF-S/G/VR/DX lens and body limitations) and played up the fact that every Canon EF lens - w/ or w/o USM, w/ or w/o IS - ever made will function with every EOS body - 35mm, APS, and Digital - ever made. (The EF-S excluded of course ;) ).
