Hi,
Well, as the title suggests, I am looking for digital camera that does just that.
Let me give you some background first:
I have a Nikon FM2 and I enjoy it a lot, for me this is a very purist camera and I especially like the fact that I can use very light sensitve BW films like an ISO 3200 to take pictures indoors and/or at evenings, using, say, an 35mm 1:2 lens.
I hate flash photography with a passion, the pictures always look to me very unnatural and the process of shooting with flash I do not find very discrete.
I am thinking about going digital, and in fantasy dream land, the camera I would buy is this:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0603/06031502epsonrd1s.asp
Unfortunately, it is way out of my price range.
Another camera that caught my eye and (I think) got mentioned here is the olympus e-1, which is not as expensive as it used to be when it came out, as the camera is now about 3 years old.
It does not have a flash - which is good, as I would not use it anyway, and a metal body which gives it a nice and solid feel.
However, I got the impression from reading reviews at e.g. dpreview that the camera is getting a bit long in the tooth now and does not fare well for available light photography compared to newer offerings.
Also, I do not plan to put together a lot of equipment, just the body and one lens, perhaps a 35mm or a 50mm equivalent - I want to keep things as simple as possible (in analog fantasy dream land, my camera would be a Leica MP with a noctilux lens)
So any suggestions/opinions?
Samuel
