Oh, great collective empegbbs wisdom,

It so happens that Elaine has a Minolta traditional, film-based, Minolta SLR and a couple of lenses (28-80 and 100-300 AF zooms). Being film-based, we don't use it that much anymore, so the idea is to get a reasonably-priced digital SLR but keep using the lenses. Does this make sense? Do the old Minolta lenses still work with a Minolta digital SLR? Any recommendations for a suitable digital camera frame?

The "analog" camera is a Minolta alpha 7700i, (that's the Japanese name for it, seems it was called Maxxum 7000i in the US, and Dynax 7000i elsewhere), seems it was released in 1988.
