I've just recently bought 3 web cams from Tesco for around £20 (for the 3). They come with mics too. I was surprised at the quality of the stills it is possible to obtain with these cameras. I've been using these cameras with some Year 6 children with some good results. To keep the cameras steady we've been using Blu Tack. The children have been using the scanner and camera wizard thing with XP to take the photos (why isn't this utility available with Vista!), they have then been putting their movies together with Moviemaker - a little cumbersome but they got there in the end.
This set up does seem to be the cheapest way to do stop frame animation. I'll try and post some of their movies soon.
