They have same price tag. But DSC has 30X zoom and SLT has no zoom what this means which one should I buy?
Answer
The last time I looked, the Sony A33 was a bit more expensive that the HX100.
You are comparing two totally different cameras. The HX100 is what's called a superzoom, or megazoom camera. Sometimes even the term 'bridge camera' is used, but I despise the term.
Superzooms camera are at their core, are compact cameras with a large lens attached, and usually some extra controls and options. They have the same small image sensor packed with too many pixels, and the same poor image quality as a compact.
The Sony A33 is a dSLT camera (nearly identical to a dSLR) and has no zoom because there is no lens permanently attached to the camera. dSLRs and dSLTs never have 'zoom' numbers attached to them for this reason. The A33 crushes the HX100 in just about every single way but one.
You'll never have the zoom factor in the A33 because of the large image sensor. Cameras like the HX100 with its small image sensor can pack a lot of zoom in a smaller lens. The larger image sensor requires a larger lens to get the same reach, that's why you see pro photographers at football games with those massive white zoom lenses that cost a small fortune.
What people don't know is that a cheap superzoom camera with a 15x has more reach than that super long dSLR lens, it's only that large to make up for the larger image sensor. Of course the dSLR image quality is better by leaps and bounds.
So what do you want? for simplicity, and lower weight and size, go for the HX100. Because the lens is fixed, once you buy it, you are done. If you want a camera with the potential to deliver pro image quality, and the ability to change lenses, add a flash or other accessories, go for the A33. One note, the Sony A37 is coming soon and replaces the A35 which replaced the A33 which is a first generation dSLT.

I have several lens' from a SLR and want to know which DSLR will work with them.?
macydoodle
I have a Minolta auto-focus 35-70 zoom w/macro, an Albinar auto-focus 75-200 zoom with macro and a Soligor ultra-wide angle 17mm lens that all have a bayonette lens mounts. I have a good deal of money already invested in these lenses and would llike to keep them if I could either find an adapter to use them on say a Canon or other camera that would accept the mount without an adapter. Can anyone help?
Answer
Forget adapters, they're too clunky.
Not wanting to be rude, those lenses are not top spec. so don't spend a lot on getting them to work. If they're all in Minolta Maxxum AF mount then they will fit on Sony DSLRs. The modern lenses, thanks mainly to coatings and better design, will produce better image quality. However, because the APS-C DSLRs crop the centre of the image the quality from those old lenses won't be too disappointing.
You could pick up either a new Sony A58 or any of the other older cameras back to A35 which fixed translucent mirrors and electronic viewfinders. However the first of the double-digit Sony line with optical findes from A200 to A580 were pretty goodl.
