Default How to chose a digital camera?


I've been trying to find a way to select cameras for comparison of the
features that are important to me, but with no success at all. Is there a
way to search for the following features:

- excellent focusing in low light with *no* white-light focusing aid
(infrared or unobtrusive red OK)
- zoom to 35mm equivalent of 35-200 or so
- auto flash that can be turned off and on easily (not through menus, etc)
- very short shutter delay (subjects move fast)
- good image quality in low light (stage spotlights)
- good reliability and sturdiness (dozens to hundreds of shots a night)

Not essential but would be nice:
- uses AA-size batteries
- CF, SmartDrive, SM, SD/MMC, or Memory Stick memory (I already have a
reader)
- orientable LCD display
- macro capability
- no digital zoom
- no movie
- no sound
- light weight

I don't especially care about the pixel size, the brand, or the shape.

Any suggestions welcome.

Pierre
