Any cameras with these features?
Currently have an olympus stylus 400 and have come across several
things I would like to have in my next camera. From what I've seen on the market all of these features are not yet available, or are not all of them are available in one camera. Looks like I'll be holding on to the sylus a while longer while I wait for some of this stuff to mature a bit. -Inet * comes with ac adapter * large Lcd * variable shutter timer * variable iso speed * bluetooth file transfer to pc * Ir remote (seen some olympus models with this feature) * dc into camera actually charges the battery * two AA nimh cells would be nice instead of a proprietary battery * movies/sound for limit of memory card * accepts CF & sd memory cards * small form factor |

I don't think I've seen any with BlueTooth. -dms |

None of them seem to have anything whatsoever to do with the camera's ability to produce reasonable quality photographs. Buy a video cellphone! Roy G |

exposing your brilliance. seems I was wrong... |

And when your camera breaks and cost to repair is to great you will
compromise your list. |

Bluetooth?! Do you realize how long it wouldl take to transfer even a small number of large image files via Bluetooth?! |

* Ir remote (seen some olympus models with this feature)
My first (and still current) digital had this feature and I have found it so useful that it will always be on my list of near-essential features for any future purchase. I wonder how common it is? Surely it's not only Oly who offer this feature? I guess it could be a matter of what you've never had you don't miss - or maybe I'm just too vane, wanting to be in some of my own photos. The others on the OP's list I would classify as "nice to have" (although poprietary batteries might put me off a camera). Keith |

* dc into camera actually charges the battery * two AA nimh cells would be nice instead of a proprietary battery These two features are pretty much mutually exclusive. Cameras that take standard AA cells don't charge them, because you could be using alkalines instead of NiMH, and charging alkalines is likely to result in leaking batteries. Only some cameras that use proprietary battery packs have chargers in the camera. Dave |
