Hi Hassan,

Yep - I think there are a number digital cameras that allow manual focus.

I think, as I believe you are noting above, that many of them have motorized
control over the manual focus ... meaning that you have to hit a tiny button
to move the focus in or out. Kind of a digital 'manual focus' arrangement.

However, I'm pretty sure there are some (maybe the Minolta Dimage line?)
that have manual 'manual focusing' where you turn a ring around the lens to
alter the focus.


HTH,
