I now have a new digital Single Lens Reflex camera. After a lot of looking and investigation, I finally decided to buy the Sony A100 digital SLR. The deciding factor was that the Sony takes the lenses I already have. About a year ago, Minolta sold their camera divisions to Sony. The A100 is Sony’s first camera using the Minolta technology plus their own technology. The three lenses I already have fit the camera very nicely and all work correctly. That meant I only needed to buy the camera body and the Sony had sufficient capability for what I use a digital SLR for. I checked several websites and then went downtown to the local Inkley’s store. They were willing to come within about $40 of what the online price was and having access to their support made the deal. I took a few test pictures, but this one is the first real picture taken with the new camera. It’s so nice to be back in the digital world again!
