DIY camera rotator

Hello all
I want to try and make a camera rotator using Arduino and a stepper motor. I have minimal experience with electronics but I am slowly gathering information for this project and this is what I think I need so far...

* a robust stepper motor (Nema 17)?
* Arduino Uno R3
* a breakout board for the stepper (which I think I already have ULN2003) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5V-4Phase...IAAOSw4SlV8kDo

Am I right in thinking that the Nema 17 requires 12voltsDC and that the ULN2003 breakout will control it as long as I have a separate 12VDC power source? Is the Nema 17 overkill?

I have alot of other things to consider about this project but small steps and all that.....
Your help is very much appreciated
Thanks
Jeremy
