Since the Sony DSLR would use the Minolta Lense mount so that all previous Minolta Maxxum lenses would be compatible with the new DSLRs. I'm assuming the Lenses will be built by previous Konica Minolta factories now owned by Sony, and Minolta built good glass so that's a good thing.
Really wish Sony called their new camera Sony Minolta to capatilize on the long standing Minolta brand. Konica Minolta can trace their roots back to 1873.
Personally, I'm glad that all my Maxxum lenses and accesories are going to have a second life.
