Ashley,

I thought about the fish chute question and I am not certain that a digital camera will suit your needs. First, I am not aware of any cameras that shoot pictures as a regularly timed interval. Most are designed to shoot only one picture at a time.

You could set up a rig with a video camera similar to Betty's panda site where a frame is grabbed every 30 seconds or so. This will likely require a laptop with a frame grabber. You may be able to set this up with a Snappy! or like device attached to the parallel port. There must be some software to allow you to capture images intermittently.

A key concern will be shutter speed and I have some doubts that most of the digital cameras on the market are capable of adequate shutter speed for moving objects taken from a fixed vantage point. Most digital cameras are relatively slow...equiv. to 100 speed color film.

I still vote for a video camera with a simple frame capture device.
