Look around the forum a bit and you will find many, many debates on the pros and cons between the Canon D300 (Rebel) or for about 50% more the Canon D10 and the Nikon D70 somewhere between the two price-wise, IIRC.
There are others, but these are the three that keep coming up when discussing 'value' DSLRs, with the intend to not sacrifice anymore quality than possible and an eye toward future-proofing. I just would not expect a Minolta lens to fit on them.
I have not heard Minolta brought up in the forums, but I think I will go look at what they have to offer -- just because I am not curious.

/edit: Ok, so I have heard Minolta come up, I had just not connected the DiMage with Minolta. Shows how much I pay attention, I suppose.
A quick look around Minoltas site found only one SLR camera with interchangable lens, but it was only a 2.7 Megapixal.
I'll let others with actual experience with these cameras comment in more detail.
