What's a good camera?

Hi.

Okay, it's apparenly in my nature to obsess over things. So this
stop-motion-lego-movie business is no exception (mostly because it appeals
to the days when I used to try stop-motion clay animation with my Super-8,
oh so many years ago). I spent the weekend using my digital camera to create
a few seconds of animation that weren't half bad.

Unfortunately, the camera itself is defective and going back for repairs in
the next couple of days. Lord knows how long they're actually have it.

So, my question is, what would you recommend as a good camera for this kind
of work? I don't want to spend a ton, but getting something that can record
real-time might be a bonus as well. I don't think I have enough to blow on
the Lego Studio, but is that the best around?

I'm looking for something to fill the void while my digital's away or
something better to take it's place. Now that I'm obession-boy, I've got
plans, big plans... [Insert Insane Laughter Here].

Thanks

Evil Wayne
