Intervalometer scripts for automating just about anything imaginable can be installed in Canon point and shoot cameras with CHDK, the Canon Hack Development Kit. Neat stuff.
The last time I did anything like this was with a Canon 810 super 8mm camera (still have it!) and a cable release. Not sure which method is more fun, but this is certainly more casual.
Great work - I've taken my Canon A560 hiking and found it's a tough camera. I haven't tried the CHDK yet, but loos interesting.
