Canon offers FF (1Ds series, 5D), 1.3x crop (the 1D series high fps bodies) and 1.6x crop (Digital Rebels, 30D and antescendants). EF-S lenses are for the 1.6x cropped bodies from the original Digital Rebel on, earlier 1.6x crop bodies cannot use them as they are mechanically incompatible with plain EF mount bodies (EF-S bodies can mount EF-S lenses, but EF-S lenses do not mount on EF bodies).
