I'm writing a grant request for a new Stop Motion Animation class I'd like to do at my school---what's a "lower end" (I know they are all pretty expensive) DSLR camera that has Live view and continuous motion shutter speed/burst mode (or do all DSLRs have that?). Since this is for a middle school, there's no need for the best, but it has to have the two above features.

I prefer Canon just because, but Nikon is okay, too.

Any suggestions? I'm on a tight deadline and reading amazon reviews is just leading me down a rabbit hole.
