I have found a real BUDGET priced Time Lapse Camera.
Yes ..... its cheap and does not even look like a camera. But what today looks like it did 50 years ago?
No one any more does flash powder photos and a cloth draped head, or a horse and buggy with even the use of gas lights.
And by the way .... look at Kodak today :)
Check out http://www.brinno.com
I'm trying to understand how to set the camera.
It has initial time frame settings for taking photo sequence from 1sec, 3 sec, 10 sec, 15, min. 1 hr, 24 hr etc.
No real #f settings or even Zoom...BUT and here is that great BUT. It takes very good quality Time Lapse photography with a good and a bad light auto setting.
Also can be used with a wide angle lens that attaches magnetically.
Also does STOP ACTION very well.
A New idea for an olde art!
Just need a bit of pro TL experience and suggestion. AND Buying a real camera has already been suggested :)

I would not recommend it. The problem will be in the shutter speed and aperture. You want to have manual control of these functions to produce quality time lapse.
It says it is not 1920 by 1080. This will make its footage harder to sell.
Notice in the videos it has produced that fast moving objects disappear and reappear, like the painter. A good time lapse is smooth, with motion blur and/or depth of field.
On the bright side, you can use it as an expendable asset, and put it places where you wouldn't put a valuable camera.

These look like cheapen versions of Game or Trail cameras. There are some great and now HD game cams that do day and night photos and full HD videos. They are also weather proof. Even most of the game cams are marginal for stock but fun to play with.

These cameras my have some uses for "hidden" camera work as in situations you would rather not be totting a pro camera. Content is king, after all. The content had better be worth it, as I am sure the tiny plastic lens, tiny sensor and the youtube renders make it look better than it is. 720 is live-able. Good to toy around with - fun. http://www.amazon.com/Brinno-Timelapse-Weatherproof-Jobsite-Camera/dp/B005REW7DM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1330182712&sr=8-3 it's $149.
