I believe Renato1 was suggesting a Sony A-Mount digital camera so you can reuse the lenses from your Maxxum 5.

+1 ... though the A99II is getting scarce and pricey. The A900 is a very nice camera, but a bit long in the tooth at this point.

Or a Sony E mount body and A mount adapter, if you want to go mirrorless. Assuming they are not the Xi variants, all of those lenses can be used on any E mount body with the LA-EA4, or on the A7R4 with the LA-EA5.

If you still want to shoot some film from time to time, being able to share lenses with a modern digital is convenient. Of course, you can do the same thing with a Canon mirrorless, EF to R adapter, and an EOS film body, but you already have the A mount lenses...

A7R2 with SEL2470Z and a number of adapted lenses (Canon FD, Minolta AF, Canon EF, Leica, Nikon...); A7R converted to IR.
