Focus Stacking

Is there a Canon camera that will allow you to set the start, end points and number of shots to take?

Yes. Use the app DSLR controller and you have the focus stacking function. There are some discussions here :

You can do it with any camera in post.

I think my CamRanger does this (I don't use it for that), but that's an expensive solution.

 

Refocusing a lens can cause some difference based on focus-breathing (that's where the true focal length changes just be shifting focus).  If you are interested in focus-stacking specifically for macro photogoraphy, the common solution is to use a "focus rail".  This mounts the entire camera on a rail (attached to a tripod) and the rail allows the entire camera to slide forward/backward (my rail has about 11 cm worth of travel).  You shoot, move it a few millimeters & repeat until you have enough frames.  But it's not automatic.
