Are there any Digital SLR cameras out there that will accept old MC/MD Lenses from old Minolta X700 35mm ?
Unfortunately, no. The old manual Minolta lenses (MC/MD mount) are not compatible with the newer A-mount used by Minolta (and now Sony) DSLRs, or any other current DSLR mount for that matter.
One way that seems to work is using an adaptor with Olympus DSLRs. Although it will be a bit of a pain to meter, and isn’t exactly inexpensive. This page describes the pros/cons:

Frankly, unless you have some very special lenses that you want to keep using it’s probably better to buy new lenses. You certainly won’t save much money by trying to go the adaptor route, if that is your motivation.
Oh, and by the way, if you happen to see this, concerning the “Seagull d55″ it’s a hoax!

Although, it kind of would be nice, and would certainly solve your problem!
