I'm sure this is a question that has been asked many many times, but I didn't see my specific camera/lenses and wanted to get some opinions.
I have an old 35 mm Minolta Maxxum 5000i with 2 lenses
Sigma DL zoom 35-80mm
Sigma 70-300mm
I am still a camera novice but want to get a decent entry-level camera (Nikon?). I would like to know if these lenses would be compatible/be able to use them with a DSLR camera. Are there certain brands that are compatible and others that aren't? What options do I have if they aren't?
I understand that ideally I would like to get new lenses, but since I have these already, I would like to know their compatibility.
Also, if you have any recommendations for an entry level $500 - 600 camera, please let me know. My brain hurts from looking at all the options. If there's been a recent upgrade, and the older model is still a great option and maybe even a little cheaper, that would be great.
Thanks for any suggestions. Any help is appreciated.
