What DSLR has an adapter for Minolta X-570 lenses?

I have several high-quality manual-focus lenses from my Minolta X-570 SLR ... I am thinking about getting a new DLSR, and want to use these lenses.

QUESTION: Which current generation DLSR cameras have after-market adapters for Minolta's SR lenses?

Update:

Please don't give me links to useless link farms, like lexi did.

I'm looking for a camera brand name and model number as an answer.

Update 2:

I know I have to buy an adapter! RTFQ:

REPEATING THE QUESTION: Which current generation DLSR cameras have after-market adapters for Minolta's SR lenses?

Update 3:

****************

AL ... What part of "What DSLR has an adapter for Minolta X-570 lenses?" do you fail to understand? I do not have lenses for a Maxxum. I have lenses for an X-570.

Do you know which Nikon cameras this works with? Is there a brand name so I can look up reviews?

    My my aren't we the polite one! Rudeness gets you nowhere!

    Why not do some research and find out for yourself if you are so picky about the precise answer you want!

    Try googling "minolta lens adaptor [camera brand]"

    You don't necessarily "have to buy an adaptor". The Minolta brand was bought by Sony and they use the Minolta mount on their DSLRs.

    Though why I would want to help an ignorant 2@ like you I will never know!

    You can use almost any DSLR camera, you just need to find if there are adapters for that camera to that lens.

    To add. Most will work via manual mode only. No auto-focus.

    Link below is a sample of adaptor for minolta lens to nikon camera.

    Sony bought the Minolta Camera brand. Some Minolta Maxxum series lens will mount on Sony Alpha DSLR cameras without a need for an adaptor.

    RTFQ! my A$$. You edited your stupid question. Jim A - top contributor read your question clearly - and gave you a simple answer. Do your own research! Just trying to give you sample and idea. Those lenses arent worth it trying to use with new DSLR.

    Here maybe this will help. Why I am doing this? I dont know.

    Maybe this will help too:

    If you look on ebay you'll find there are adapters that would allow you to use your Minolta SR-mount

    lenses for Sony, Canon, and 4/3's mount bodies (no Nikon ones at the moment).

    I would suggest that you look at Sony's SLT-A65 or Canon's Rebel T3i. Sony's DSLRs * DSLT's have a direct lineage to Minolta, but with 40years between their modern cameras and your existing equipment there is little to tie you into that lineage since almost everything has changed.

    *Your SR mount lenses will not mount directly to a Sony A-Mount camera they do require an adapter!

    Just do a web search for 'minolta mc/md to sony/canon/pentax/olympus (4/3 and Micro 4/3)/nikon'

    and you'll find the adapter you need for whatever brand of DSLR you decide to buy.

    I could have done that for you but my time is valuable.

    No camera has an adapter - that's a separate item that you'll have to buy. Here's a place to begin your research.
