I am wondering why Digital SLRs have intervalometer through USB only (as reported on dpreview). I am thinking of a very simple Rig with fixed pan and tilt angles, and no electronics except the cam itself. But with a high quality camera, if possible an SLR. Do I have to go "back" to a lighter compact such as the Ricoh Gx100, or is there any DSLR outhere able to shoot 1 frame each 5 or 10 seconds ?
