All canon EOS bodies dont have motor. The lens are all electronic.

Makes them lens focus a lot faster.

Why get 500D when there's a much better 550D?

550D body is only RM2.4K 

I did b4~ but very noob
shot at lowest quality jpeg, cuz my laptop cannot handle to maximum resolution with tons of pics to render/process
shot around 800shots of a landscape in the evening around 5.30 - 6.15pm
combine them to a 10secs video at (forgot) fps...

but i did manually last time, every 2 secs hit the shutter....so the video got sometimes shakes.....
best use a remote timer with seconds interval function

I think easier solution is to set it to video mode. Film about 30 minutes. Then just drag out bits of it to make it stutter. Terbalik method. LOL.
