TPF Noob!
I'm looking for a small digital camera with all of the capabilities of a manual 35mm camera. I wan't to be able to focus manually, adjust f-stop manually (on the lens, ideally, like a film camera), adjust shutter speed manually (again, I'd like it to be on the camera body if possible). Basically, I want a totally manual camera that happens to take digital pictures. Price range from $1,000-5,000 USD but I'd like to know all possibilities (e.g., if there are some that are more expensive). Are there cameras like this? Are what I ask for (like the very "physical" manual features) simply stylistic choices? That is, I don't want to buy a camera that happens to be highly stylized at the expense of its functionality. Ultimately, I'd like the pictures to be of the best possible quality. It's just that I've been taking pictures on completely manual film cameras for all of my life (Nikon FM10, e.g.) and really like the control it gives. Really like that feeling that I'm entirely responsible for the photo that I see. Thanks very much for all of your help!
