Hi folks,

 I'm looking for a digicam that has the following features:


     - Computer (PC) controled Shutter Release which can sequence
       grab for time lapse photography in intervals of about 2 seconds
       where the entire secquence is not limited but by memory.

       Note: Some cameras can be triggered by a computer and can
             grab limited sequences of 10 or 20 frames to an internal
             buffer before having to download/process the images to
             card memory - usually incurring a long pause.  This is
             no good.  I hope to find something that can either grab
             & DL directly thru USB2 (or other) connection or where
             each frame is quickly stored to it's memory card.

     - Movie mode any file format, at least 640x480 at 30FPS.

     - All manual mode.  Where AE, AF, and WBal. can be switched off.

     - Any Price up to about $3,000 would be fine but inexpensive
       cameras are acceptable as well.


 I've beat my brains out reading and searching for either a camcorder
 or a still digicam that has these two feature capabilities.  Any imput
 or camera models that you may know of having such would be most
 apreciated.

 Thanks!
 Jim
