I'm going to a buy a digital-camera, I have some specs I want it to have. What camera does have this specs ?
*Size: compact, pocket size, (like minolta dimage G-600)
*Metering: Evaluative-matrix and Center Weighted and Spot
*Autofocus and manual focus
*Focus assist lamp or IR.
*I should be able to choose different focus points
*I should be able to manually choose apperture
*I should be able to manually choose shutter speed
*I should be able to manually choose ISO-settings
*I want good macro capabilities
*Video with sound
*Should be able to save in RAW, or at least TIFF
*3 or more Megapixels
*3 or more optical zoom
*A plus if I can use different "filters" on the lens.
*It should take good pictures offcourse, and be good in night shots.
* The camera should also have like a "fix focus selection" so I can take a picture very fast, of fast moving objects and also in dim light...Almost all cameras have problems focusing in dim light. So a fix focus mode would be great. I should be able to just pick the camera up, put it on and take a pic very fast.
If the camera have AA-batteries thats a plus, also if it have SD-card.
One more thing, I read somewhere on the net that some cameras have a special function, Dont know the name of it, but I will try to explain. You set the camera in a special mode - then when you use an external flash thats not connected to camera and you "Flash" it, then the camera automatically takes a picture...Whats the name of that function???
Thanks for any help you can give me. I been searching and reading reviews for months now, and I still dont know or have found a camera that I want.
