    The Minolta Maxxum lenses will all work on any Sony digital SLR body. So investing in a Sony DSLR is probably the best thing to do. The Sony digital SLRs also have built-in image stabilization, which means they will compensate for camera shake without having to buy special lenses. I reviewed the first Sony DSLR, the A100, and liked it quite a bit. I haven't had the opportunity to review one of the more recent bodies yet. But the reviews are generally very positive. Here's a link to all of the Sony digital SLR reviews on the site:
