Since a g+ post from david singleton I too wanted to create such a cool timelaps video.

After some other projects on my Rpi I now found some time to install my cheap nikon L25 to the Raspberry and start recording
well, in the end it worked...




some remarks:
Nautilus accesses the camera as soon as it is plugged in ... you must kill the process b4 accessing the camera with gphoto ( http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Gphoto2 )
Nikon L25 has some kind of software error. The PTP mode hangs up if gphoto is used once. turn the cam on / off again nevertheless 'gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download --interval=60' works...
ffmpeg needs renamed photos starting at something like foo1.jpg. DSCN0013.JPG as 1st pic will not work (thanks http://justinsomnia.org/2009/08/how-to- ... th-ffmpeg/ )

have fun!

EDIT

the problems above seem to disappear if you just boot your pi to console mode
