I am pretty sure that your lenses are just fine for your Digital camera(Minolta or Sony only) as they have the same lens mount. I you choose a KM5 or KM7 digital cameras your lenses will be longer by a factor of 1.4x, same goes for Sony cameras except A850 and A900. They will give you the same magnification ratio as your 7000. Minolta was sold to Sony several years ago, and they have been building a great reputation since. Your AF maxxum lenses will work great on any KM or Sony camera(ADI is available on distance integrated Minolta maxxum lenses only. You can tell by looking at a lens marking which will say "D" if it is compatible with distance integration). I find distance integration an extra not a necessity. If you have some great glass that you love and hold dear, then it would be a great idea to buy Sony. Note that another answer by miket756 is mostly wrong. Yes your lenses will get longer on APS sized sensors, but a 28 mm will never become a 150mm equivalent(thats just stupid). It will look more like 40-50mm on APS-C camera. If you got 2000-2700$ for Alpha850 or Alpha900 than your lenses will retain their mag factors. Good luck.
No not at all,,,, sorry,,, all your 35mm lenses would be far to "long" on a digital camera,, the censor on a digital camrea is very small compeared to the 35mm film so a 28mm wide angal lens would look like a 150mm lens on a digital camera even if you could see your ear's in it when fitted on your 35mm minolta camera its a bit of a bu*mer i know but changing over to a digital camera means a hole lot of new lenses to go with it,,,sorry,,,i hope this has helped you out
