What I would like: Full 24x36mm frame (I use wide-angle a lot more than telephoto)
6mp or more Exposure control similar to istD and (P)Z-1p Multipattern and spot metering Pop-up flash with exposure compensation Direct selection of sensitivity (ISO), meter pattern, autofocus mode, shutter mode, exposure compensation User-changable finder screens, with a good grid screen Mirror lock (linked to 2sec timer would be fine) USB2 or FireWire data transfer JPEG plus RAW recording Solid (but not necessarily hockey-puck) construction Rick --- Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Howdy gang! > > After spending about four lifetimes following the > recent spew about > non-A lens support, I started to think about what I > would really WANT > in a digital camera.
