I had a minolta film SLR, but still went with Canon, at the end of the day Canons have the lowest noise of the bunch and are readily modified if you want better sensitivity at the red (infra red) end of the spectrum. If you like shooting wide angle shots your minolta lenses probably won't cut the mustard as there is a 1.6 multiplication factor with most DSLR's (Full frame e.g. Eos 5D excepted) so for example a 24mm lens is equivalent to 38mm.
