A good stopmotion feature would be: use the output of the live view directly for testing, without closing the shutter. This is sometimes called 'electronic shutter' as opposed to 'mechanical shutter', and is the same photo cameras use to take video. > Do you have any advice on a nice camera, cheap but still not too > crappy?

No advice on any particular camera, but I would first check if having a shutter replacement is cheaper. I've heard this is common practice in stopmotion feature films.
