Default >>> Request for Recommendation: Digital camera with specificrequirements

The Nikon 995 does most of that, but I'm not sure about the 1600ASA.
It will do manual focus though. And It's 3.3 mpxls.

Hello, All,

I am an avid amateur film & paper photographer, and lately I've been
wanting to get a digital camera to augment my photography. I have
some specific needs, but I'm having a difficult time finding suitable
camera candidates. I hoping you could suggest a few models to
investigate.

The features I need:

o Megapixels: 2 megapixels would be plenty.
o An option for full manual control of the exposure settings.
o An option for at least 800 ASA -- 1600 is preferred.
o An option to use external flashes -- a PC sync is
preferred, but a hot shoe is acceptable. Ideally, if
I am using an external flash, I should be able to turn
off any on-camera flash.
o Rugged & reliable.
o Good battery life with an option to use an AC adapter.
o Mid-range price (e.g. ~$400-500 US)

I'll be using the digital camera for snapshots & for doing preview
exposures in a studio setting (thus, the external flash options is
essential).

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Jon
