I'd consider myself a bigginer astophotography and I have both a ccd (Meade DSI2) and a dslr (canon 1000d unmodded). The DSLR is much easier to get an image out of, to be hounest I've yet to get anything decent our the the DSI 2. Focusing a CCD is the biggest hurdle because it's not live, theres always a lag from what you see from what you did, if that makes sence. If you get a DSLR with with live view on it, when you turn the focuser you see your image change instantly.
As a result I only use my DSI for guiding.
