I use Panasonic camcorders. Don't remember the model number off hand, but I do remember that I had to order them directly from Japan because that model wasn't available here in the USA. Oh, here's the box on the shelf here in my den. HDC-TM350.
I actually have two of them. That way I can set one up for long term time lapse, and then have another one available to hand hold or set up differently. For the sunsets, I often would set up both camcorders, one set up at 1 frame per second, and the other at 1 from per 10 seconds. It's difficult to predict which setting will look most dynamic for the upcoming sunset.
I think they are actually more expensive now than when I bought mine, otherwise I'd be tempted to get a third. There were several times on vacation that I sure wish I had had a third unit.
