Wordpress Featured Post

I am trying to find a good plugin that would take the 4 most recent news articles, or filtered for a category, and allow me to make a auto rotating slider. Which includes a large image, a t开发者_如何学运维itle, and a excerpt (not content) from a post. And also taking the image, or featured image as the navigation of the slides.

Does anyone know of such plugin? I am having little luck finding one that does most of this.

I've used SlideDeck in the past. They offer a free version so you can play around with it, and with a little programming you can display anything you want in it. I ended up not using it because it was overkill for what I needed and just coded my own slider with jQuery.
