Stop motion on Mini DV cams

In school I used a DV cam that was able to record 1 or 2 (maybe 3?)
frames per second.
This was great for time-lapse videos and also stop motion (it also had
a function to capture 2-3 frames every time you pressed a button on the
remote)
My question is as follows: does anyone here know if this is ever a
function in lower priced cameras?
My pain limit is around £800-1000, but I believe the school camera
cost alot more.
Has anyone been able to find this at the cheaper consumer cameras?
Thanks for any tips and insight.

Do have access to a fruit-flavoured computer?

Nope - unfortunately I dont.
I use my webcam though, that with the proper software works the same.
But I am hoping for A) Better resolution B) not having to drag my
computer around (as I often do this outdoors... also battery time is
then an issue)
Thanks for the tip though
