Hi everyone,

Thank you very much for the answers.

I wish I had not written capacitance measurement at all  :-DD. Well, it is good to have good capacitance measurement but it is not a must.  :) . I have DT71 handheld LCR meter but it is not very reliable as you guess  ;D

Precise current and voltage measurement is the most important thing for me. If I can measure nV or nA, It would be wonderful  :)

I never work with high voltages or currents, so it is not very important. I will use it in my own lab so, as long as it has a connection for automatic data acquisition it is enough for me  :)

DMM6500 looks good. I asked local distributor to send me a quotation. Probably they will ask for ~1500 euro  :(

I found a Fluke 8808A/SU for 900 USD from a local distributer but it's production is ended as far as I understand, I don't know if it is a bad thing.
Kleinstein:
The Fluke 8808 is a bit special in that it still uses a more sampling ADC and analog filtering. One kind of has to choose between slow response with the filter or extra noise bandwidth without it. I can fully understand the end of production and would not consider it, except for a direct 1:1 replacement or if one needs the sampling feature.

Measuring down to the nA is no principle problem - though it depends on the meter which current ranges are offered. Especially the more low cost meters tend to cut costs by offering only few current ranges.
Getting to the nV range is tricky. This is not just the electronics, but also the terminals and cables. Quite a few meters offer 100 nV resolution, but much better needs expensive special meters (mainly the Keithley 2182 / KS 34420 (if still available) - but that is a different price class).
