Topic: Best Digital Camera for stopmotion in the price range of the low 100's

I am looking to buy a digital camera for stop-motions (maybe the Nikon Coolpix L20) but first I really don't know what digital (not webcam) Camera would be best for the money I have.

PS, I have made stop-motions with my dad's horrible low quality webcam:( and I really would love to get a digital camera for stop-motions.:D

By the way is the Nikon CoolPix L20 any good I have heard its crap but then I've heard it's beast?

Not all webcams are horrible quality, the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 is a very good choice for brickfilming.

Never Mind I found this beast 100 dollar olympus camera with 12 mega pixel, 5x opitcal zoom, and the problem is that I don't know if it has manual focus...
...I have already researched the amazing logitech quickcam but I want something more portable ..

still any suggestions..

I might get the olympus camera.

If you're only willing to fork out up to $100, you should get the Quickcam. If you want something you can take photos with in the real world as well, you'll have to spend a lot more. Look here and here to see the cameras that work with SMP - I'm guessing they'll also work with Helium Frog and other animation programs but I'm not sure.
