I just bought a Sony A-100 DSLR. The Minolta (and Quantaray Minolta Mount) AUTOFOCUS lenses that I used with my old Minolta Maxxum SLR work on the Sony, and autofocus correctly. The non-autofocus lenses that I used with my ancient SRT-101 manual SLR are not useable on the SONY. But they weren't on the Maxxum either.

So far, the A-100 looks to be an excellent camera, and it's nice to be back to an SLR after a couple point-and-shoot digitals.

I hope this information is not too late to be useful to you.
