I have a 3-year-old Fluke 73 (3 1/2 digit) and am quite happy with it
except that last time I tried to measure current with it (0.1 A) it
only gave me 2 digits of resolution.  Since the current was a bit less
than 0.1 A the value kept changing between 0.09 and 0.1.  Since I've been
working almost exclusively in software for the last 5 years I don't know
if it's my unreasonable expectations or just that the autoranging switched
up prematurely.

No capacitance measurement on mine, though.  Just VOA and "diode", I think.
