An alternative way to use a DV camera for timelapse is to use it
conjunction with a computer or laptop running an app like iStopMotion or
Frame-By-Frame. They connect to the live feed from the camera via firewire
and record straight to a DV-NTSC (or PAL) quicktime file. (PRobably avi on
the wintel side). This will certainly save head-hours on your camera, and
probably gives you more flexibility w/regard to interval control. In this
case any DV camera will do. The DVX are great, have a nice sensor. The
Canon XL Series (XL1, 1s, 2) have interchangeable lenses which might be
advantageous for you.
