I need to capture high resolution images frequency for a very long period. Specifically, I'm looking at a photo every 10 seconds for 365 days!

The reliability of DSLRs for such HD time-lapse is not ideal (with the continual shutter and lens reflex movements) and HD video cameras have been suggested as they are designed to handle lots of images. I think there are a couple that do time-lapse but I don't think this is exactly what I need.

I need to use the video camera almost as a still camera, grabbing a frame every 10 seconds from it and downloading it to a PC.

Anyone know if this is even possible?
