time lapse

anybody have any suggestions for good low to medium priced cameras that
can do time lapse, ie interval shooting?

My Nikon Coolpix 8800 can do it. At $500 - $600 does it fall into the
medium priced range?

If you've got a laptop, just about any Canon digital can do both via a USB
cable to the computer with included software.

The Canon S2 has that feature. They call it 'Intervalometer'
I believe, the marketing department apparently not being satisfied
with the current scope of English vocabulary.

That term has been around for decades, and its origin has nothing to do with
Canon or marketing.

I stand corrected. It so sounded like a made up word that I
didn't check it but now that I have I see that it originated in 1933,
according to Merriam-Webster.

The word makes perfect sense if you look at the root, "interval."
Adding "ometer" to words typically means measurement of whatever the
preceding portion of the word refers to... (think speedometer, thermometer,
etc.)
....so you're "interval-measuring."

Save'?

Most manuals are translated by Japanese part-time workers outside the
companies. The Japanese manual tends to be twice as long as the english
or spanish one as there are a huge number of anal pedants in Japan -
which is why many 2 hole punches have *PUSH* printed on them.

Intervalometer is quite correct. What single word would you use as a
replacement?

There are a number of mechanical intervalometers available which screw
into the cable release.
