Camera selection advice ...

Hi folks,

I am looking into buying a camera for some intro astrophotography. I don't mind paying a little more for something that will last longer, but I can't spend too much. I'm looking at keeping it under around $800.

I've been looking at the following (either new or 2nd hand):
Canon
  • 550D - $800
  • 450D - $700-$800
  • 1000D - $600-700
  • 500D - $550 - $700

Other
  • Pentax K-x - $550 - $700

Aside from the age and a few minor tech differences (e.g. MPs), I can't tell them apart. Keen for some advice from folks who've used these. Anything I should be looking out for or avoiding?

Thanks,
Af.
