Is Mac Studio compatible with older Cinema Display? I am thinking of upgrading from a 27" iMac to a Mac Studio but I already have a 27" Apple Cinema display with the DisplayPort connector. I'm wondering if there's a way to use that display with the Mac Studio.

Yes.

See here: Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

Note that the resolution will be limited to what the iMac can display, so no 4K even though the Mac Mini can produce 4K resolutions.
