time-lapse + waterproof housing + digital media

I'm completely new to anything video and was hoping someone here could
help me sort through the zillions of options, or at least narrow them
down.

I wanted to find a digital video camera (preferably memory based, no
CDs, tapes, etc., if that's realistic) that would let me adjust the
frame-per-second recording rate so I could do time-lapse shots over the
period of several hours. Or is this better done during processing (if
that's the case, I'd need to be able to shoot around 5 hours of video).

Aditionally, since a lot of this will be from a kayak, it'd be great if
it had an under water housing available for it (or, at the very least,
a EWA bag that was trip mountable).

This will be for generating videos online so (I assume) quality isn't a
big deal (i.e. I'm not making professional movies or documentaries or
anything).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

you can always take regular footage and compress it for time lapse
shots.
