I am a photographer and when I do weddings I do a lot of double exposed pictures but I cannot find a digital camera that will allow me this capability. If there is a Canon, that would be even better!!

I don't think it's technically possible for the camera itself to do a double exposure. Think of what DE means in a film camera: You shoot a frame, then shoot another frame onto the same exposed piece of film. Now, translate that to a digital. The camera captures the image on a light-sensitive device, but unlike the film, the image doesn't persist on the capture device, it is turned into electrical impulses and stored. The capture device is then "cleared".
To do a double exposure, the electrical data for the first image would somehow have to persist in the capture device and be modified by the 2nd exposure. Just the technical complexities of that boggle the mind.
Use Photoshop Elements or Photoshop CS and shoot in the camera's raw mode, and you will be able to manipulate your shots in ways that you could never even consider just by using regular double exposures.
It is possible there are cameras out there that can merge the 2 images for you internally, thereby simulating a double exposure, but you'll be able to achieve better results using the software, where you have full control over everything.

There is no need to shoot double exposures with a digital camera. Any mating of images can be done on the computer with much better results. You can be much more subtle and use more finesse. you also don't have to worry about maintaining alignment or over exposing the frame. Plus, you can use stock photos or that perfect shot of the moon you took five years ago. In every way, doing that kind of work on the computer is a no brainer and there are now so many places to take your work to be printed off of digital files that produce great work. The best part is creating a truly stunning composite image using 3,4,5 or more elements from different photos. My 1.5 cents.

Do that in the digital darkroom. Make every effort to make your shots perfect, then do the magic on the computer. You have so much more control with the digital images.
One of my photographer friends shows a Projection of the wedding AT the reception. He has a number of pre-wedding shots, but works many shots into the live show, just an hour after the reception begins. Every time, it is a HIT.
Good luck with that.

If you mean multiple exposure, then the new Nikon 12.21MP D2X Digital SLR camera has that ability, but it will come at a hefty price.
I wish my Nikon D70 could do that! :(
Good luck.

all you need is a professional SLR digital camera and Adobe Photoshop (capability of this program limited only by your fantasy)

I have not seen one that will do that, however you can get that effect by digitally editing the pictures using a graphics program.

1) open picture1 in Photoshop
2) open picture 2 as a new layer
3) set the desired opacity of picture 2
4) there is no step 4, you're done.
