A functor F:C→Set is finite-limit-preserving if it carries each finite limit cone to a limiting cone. When C is a small category with finite limits, this is equivalent to F being a filtered colimit in a category of covariant representable functors, and to the opposite of its category of elements being a filtered category. It is also equivalent to every comma category (S↓F) having finite limits, for all sets S.
