Sony bought Minolta in 2005.
Take one of your lenses in to a camera store and have them attach it to one of the Sony alpha cameras and see if you can manually focus with it easily or at all.
All the old Minolta A-type bayonet mount lenses will work on the Sony alphas, but have never tried using a manual lens.
Nikon seems to be one of the only systems that are manual focus lens friendly (D200 and better)

Manual focusing Minolta lenses, which used the MC or MD mount, will not fit any modern digital SLR, including Sony/Konica/Minolta SLRs. They definitely won’t fit Canons.
Essentially, when Minolta switched from the MD mount to an autofocusing mount, it changed the design of the mount entirely.
There may be people selling "adapters" to make the lens fit. Beware: you will have reduced image quality and focusing issues.

My friend just has bough Sony Alpha body (can’t recall exact model), and he did it on purpose - since he has lots of Minolta lens laying around at home.
