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. -LF
