Re: Battery bias?
Going from a 35mm Minolta SLR to ANY P&S is a major step backwards in image quality.
I'm not certain as I never kept up with Minolta but, are there any new DSLR's that you can use your Minolta SLR lenses on? |

Also, the differences between an old Minolta SLR & digital P&S are far from secret...
But your question about transferring the lens to a digital is a good one. We're talking about a 30+ year old Tamron, so I have my doubts - nevertheless, I'll be asking at my camera shop thanks to you. |

ANY lens made for a Pentax with work with them (though m42's require an adapter) But the camera will work with them to their limitation.... obvious auto modes not working with manual lenses, though you can still get effective aperture priority automation.
And becuase the IS is internal to the body, ANY lens you put on one will be stabilized, even the most antique M42.
