I am looking to purchase a new digital camera and I wanted to know if there are any cameras with this particular feature. I know most cameras, you can set the remote/standby feature. You press the button, then 10 seconds later, the picture is taken.

What I want is a camera where I can put the camera on a tripod, set the time intervals (2 minutes for example) And the camera will take a picture every 2 minutes, until it either runs out of space or the battery dies.

Whats the matter Thumper tired of paying for someone to stand there and snap pictures of you getting laid. You know I have a great sugestion, its called a camcorder LMFAO

Scoob

thump, no, but you can use a remote trigger on just about any slr/dslr.

Remote trigger? Are you talking about the remote feature that I described in my first post or a remote control?

Thumper...even the simple new digitals have a timer feature.

My cousing has a Cannon 5.1 (those little cigarrete pack sized ones) that has it. You can set 10 secs, 30 secs...I am not sure how long the limit is.

But those timers allow you to take one shot, then you have to reset them. Thumper wants something that doesn't exist: a camera that will take photos every X seconds automatically. Thumper, you may want to just go with a high quality video camera instead. The only other option, as DM notes, is to get a dslr (or slr) with a wireless remote and simply squeeze off shots when the action seems right. Not elegant, but it works.

Thanks Bwana, that is exactly what I was talking about. I didnt want to have to get up, walk over to the camera and manually press the button each time I wanted to take a picture.

Who knows, maybe I can sell the idea to Sony and make millions!HAHAHAHAH!!! I am quite sure I am not the only monger who would like this feature:-)

Bwana/Thumper....that is what I am talking about.
You set the camera to take shots every 30secs or 1minute...and it continues. If you also set it on auto mode (you should) it would also do slight adjustments for focus (which you will need if I can guess what you want this feature for)

<sigh> You're looking for a feature called "Time lapse" and it's been out for quite a while. Check out http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp and you'll find a couple dozen cameras with this feature.

THX Wombat, you have no idea how difficult its been to find out this info. I went to J&R, Circuit City and Best buy and all of the sales techs in the camera department, had no clue about this feature.

Unfortunately, it looks like none of the Sony cameras have this feature (Time Lapse Recording). Ive been buying Sony products for over 10 years now, looks like I will have to break down and purchase a different brand.

Can't you just let the garota run the remote while you're banging away? Or, I'm sure you can rig something up with duct tape and stylus so you can manually take them hands-free. Probably better that way, if you have them taking at set intervals you may not get the shots you want anyways.

I have a pretty good collection, from my early visits to Rio, of garota face-pics while they're on top.

Scooby made a good point...if you want pictures every 30 seconds while fucking a chica...why not set-up a camcorder on a tripod and make your own porn movie?

Also, anybody have any experience using the JVC camcorders with the built-in 30 Megabyte hard-drive? I like the concept of not having to mess around with removable media...it sounds so much easier to plug the camera into my laptop and download to my hard-drive.

Someone once told me that 1-hour of video is approximately 4-5 Meg...anyone know if this is correct?

Also, what encryption SW is out there to scramble the video file so that nobody can access it without doing some serious hacking?

Thanks.
