    Default What should I get for my 1st Digital SLR?

    I have an old Minolta x-7A with a bunch of lenses. I would like to get a new digital camera but would like to get something that could work with my key lenses.

    -Vivitar 24mm Wide Angle MC
    -Vivitar 100-300mm Macro/Zoom MC
    -Tokura 35-135mm MC

    Any suggestions?

    Sony took over the Minolta brand of cameras, so you might want to go with Sony . I highly doubt your lenses will fit the new cameras, though. But honestly, your old set is cool for what it is and the new technology, no matter the camera brand you choose to go with is light years ahead of 1985.

    So, basically, do some research and pick a brand.

    Here is a humorous little article just for fun;

    Any suggestions?
    1) What are the F/Stops on the lenes?
    2) What is your budget?
