Replying to Looking to buy a digital camera this summer

Perferably an SLR.

I want a camera that has decently high FPS shooting (3 FPS is not decent, 6 or 7 is) since I want to shoot some action shots and make sequences. I'm also looking for a camera where I can leave the lense open for a significant amount of time to do blurs and timelapses.

I'm an amature photographer though so I'm not looking to drop 2000 on a camera. Any cheaper options for camera out there with those features?
