I actually have a couple of older Minolta lenses from a film Minolta SLR I still have, but I didn't go with a Sony DSLR when it was time to get rid of film. I just wasn't interested in buying a Sony brand camera.
You are probably right about the memory stick.

I have a few minolta maxxum lenses that I use with my alpha, 50mm f1.7 and a 28mm f2.8. Both good lenses for the price which is what swayed me to Sony. I really like my alpha stuff. The new a580 I have is great. I can hit shots handheld at night that my a200 would never have been able to take.
