Adapter

Hmm, obviously I can''t compare it with the official adapter since I don''t have it :D
I have a 3.7V adapter though (from my GSM), that I think will fit, would that 0.7V difference be able to ruin it?
Also, if two adapters would both be 3V, there can''t be any difference in amperage, or can there?

Well, here''s the reality of things:
3V is generally for CMOS components. Realistically speaking, they might be fine even up to 12V. Obviously, it''s not a good idea to test them, especially if the camera has voltage changing circuits, because those will become completely screwed up.
3.7V is edgy, at best.
Any 3V adapter should work, as long as the power/current rating is at least enoguh to satisfy what it needs to power. For a camera, I imagine this would not be too high at all--a typical Radio Shack 3V adapter should be fine.
Be aware, however, that using a non-Minolta adapter is very likely to void the warranty.
