Manual Focus with live video out

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I am in search of a megapixel camera that has Manual Focus with live video out. I seem to be able to get one or the other, but not both. If the Coolpix 900 could focus manually, I think it would work. The idea is to be able to act like a video copystand with live preview but the resulution of a digital still camera... anyone..............????

There are others..but the one I know for sure is the Ricoh rdc-4200. It does have a manual focus option along with auto focus. It is megapixel at 1.32million pixels at 1280x960reso. Very similar to the nikon..but has no optical viewfinder..but using TV for the viewfinder will work easily. It does have an LCD screen in place of a viewfinder.
