Hi Everyone

Amazing forum.

I have a Minolta 7000 bought in 1987. Loved it. Used it for family stuff until 2003.

2003 switched to digital with a P&S and have been happy until now. My son is rowing in high school and I can't get good images so....

I want to get a DSLR now, but I don't have a clue.

I am stuck... I can buy a 700$ Canon T3 with Canon 18-55 IS lens and Canon 75-300 USM kit or.use the old Sigma lens on a new mount.

Would it better to use the 1987 Sigma lens on a more sophisticated Sony A-mount DSLR. Ebay shows that my lens are not worth much. the lens do work but are well used. I would love to hear the members comments.
