Chris why not consider one of the ASI1600s, a purpose built astro cmos camera, available in colour or mono, and with or without sensor cooling. They have an adaptor available that allows attachment of Canon EOS lenses. If you are just after a light camera for astro work they seem to fit the bill. Have a look at the ZWO website or at Bintel. The non-cooled colour versions are very cost effective compared to mirrorless compacts. You would need a small netbook type pc to control it via usb, but it would be full featured that way, runs on just usb supplied power in the non-cooled versions, cooled ones need 12V 2amp supply which is easy to get.
