My D70 in manual mode lets me shoot at whatever aperture and whatever shutter speed I want. If the AF mode is set to continuous, it'll also let me shoot if the shot isn't in focus. If the settings don't agree with the meter or AF, then a couple of lights blink in the VF, but that's about it...I don't know if digital gets any more manual than that though, since I don't know of any digital camera w/o metering...
