If you've got $7-8K, you can get one of them.

The Canon Powershot A610 I have does have a manual mode, That was the reason I chose that model. It is nice, but the choices are limited.It only has three 'film speeds' and a few fstops. It does let you manually focus though.

I like film where you can push the development and do things in the darkroom. I am a manual kind of person who never learned how to do much in Photoshop.

I nice manual digital camera with 'film' speeds of 64 -1600 would be great!
I wish I could afford a Leica as I have Leica lenses (I have an old one from the 1960's) but I could never spend thousands on a single camera
