Select 'yes' for 'timelapse recording', preview the hundreds that are presented.

Pentax Optio WP30. Allows you to any number of images (1-999) at intervals as short as 10secs. That model is about 2yrs old now, not sure if the current versions still include it?

4 examples that I did are here:

I use a pentax optio, too. A W60. Very happy with the results. It has a built in time lapse mode which is ok or you can take a series of stills then stitch them in movie maker which gives better quality. Its a good biking camera too as it is tough and waterproof.

Thanks. I'll check them out.

My other half has got a Nikon Coolpix S200 that does timelapse so perhaps look at the Nikon range.

Bear in mind that for Time Lapse photography, a cam needs to be switched on for long periods of time, so may need some kind of external power supply. The internal battery may not hold enough charge.

I just did a 1 month time lapse, 1 pic/hour with my optio and the battery is down to about half.

I know this isn't the question you're asking but you can also get software that'll do it with webcams (or normal cameras as webcams), I believe. Depends what you want to shoot, obviously.

Canon G9 has time lapse video. can be changed between 1 and 2 seconds.

The nikon range does seem to be good for time lapse.

From the dpreview website I see that the Fuji F200EXR is listed as having time lapse which is a camera I was half planning to buy for biking shots.

However, soops' comment regarding 1 or 2 second intervals on the G9 concerns me as I want maybe between 30s and 2min intervals. Does anybody know if the fuji can do this?

Just checked my other halfs Nikon compact & u can choose 30s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 30m & 60m.
