The Sony A850 and A900 are full frame 24 mp cameras with ISO 100 and no video. On the heavy side, but excellent cameras despite being 4 years old.

I bought a used Canon 40D without video. I think it would be like finding a new car without power windows.

I could never see the point of a still camera with video- if I want video, I buy a video camera.

Ya know, the Captain gave you some thoughtful advice. Allow me to add mine please. Consider the tripod he suggested, and use a remote shutter switch. You will have whatever terrific camera body that serves you best with only a single button.

Does anyone make a current DSLR or &#956;4/3 camera that does NOT have video capabilities? The last one I had was a Canon 50D. Now that I am physically capable of holding a larger camera steady for a short time without shaking, I am looking for a new (or refurbished) contemporary camera, but I do not like video; it adds components, buttons, procedures and weight I do not want or need. I can also get by without high ISO capacity, super shutter speeds or a moveable LCD (to tell the truth, I don't even need live view, but I guess I have no choice). I would like to have ISO as low as 100 and, if possible, a real optical viewfinder. Please tell me such a camera exists. Thank you for your help.

Mogul, I've just done a bit of browsing and I don't believe such a camera exists. Then again, you don't have to use all the camera's built-in features.
I don't think that the video capabilities in the current crop of cameras add that much weight, considering the Panasonic Lumix P&S that lives in my handbag or pocket.
Have you looked at the Olympus OM-D E-M5 camera? Most certainly not the cheapest on the market, I'm eyeballing it as a possible second camera, because with an adapter I can use my current 4/3 lenses on it.
Check out dpreview for this camera.

Old cameras are cheap on ebay or used from B&H, Adorama,etc.

But let's be real, they do not add perceptible weight, Procedures can be ignored, and buttons can go unpressed. You want to go back in technology to not have things that you can ignore. So you will likely have a camera that cannot do what your want so you won't have things that do not matter anyway.

I mean, good luck - I hope you find it, but I have two cameras that I understand do great video and the components are hidden, they do not weigh as much as my other camera with no video, and I just ignore the button.

Get the camera that does what you WANT and ignore the things it may do that do not matter to you. This is really simple.

The Nikon D80 is probably the last affordable Nikon DSLR made without video capabilities. You can get a Nikon refurbished one at Adorama for $350.

I have a Nikon D200, does most anything you want, EXCEPT VIDEO! Ergonomically, I find it quite comfortable, although I do not have your arthritis issues. The body alone weighs about 34 OZ. I am selling one in excellent condition, message me if you would like to try it. If it doesn't work for you, no harm done,I'll take it back and return your check.

I have a Nikon D300 and a D70 both do not take video. Went to the D300 for speed because taking sports photos. The D70 is much lighter and much easier to use. My 13 year old uses it all the time.
