I'm no user of Minolta though I know the lens are quite good. Whether Sony improve or not is one thing but I guess main issue would be what is the pricing. Would also the day come whereby 3-party lenses can't be used on sony dslrs?
You might think I'm being @#@!$@#$ but I got pretty upset with Sony pertaining to memory sticks.
Understand that there is no memory stick slot in the DSLR but well, in future...so guess I will be sticking to Canon.
Just my 2cent viewpoint.
