I've been eyeing off this camera, a portion of my tax return is earmarked for one, I think. They're frequently on sale (and the body-only can be had really cheap), so it's good to see that other people have them and are using them successfully!

Make sure you post your photos, terrestrial or otherwise, Nicole!
Thanks, Nicole! Glad it helped!

Ian,

The 60D would be great. The advantage that it has for the astrophotographer is the articulating screen which will save your back and your neck when it comes time to focusing and composing your images. The body is of a sturdier build, too. The 60D has a 14-bit sensor (I'm not sure if the entry-level systems now have a 14-bit sensor in them, too... the 14-bit sensor came through with the introduction of the 40D). Go for it!

I am looking at a 60D for the same uses as Nicole.
Leaning more to the Nightscape side of the equation.
What do you think of the 60D Humayun ?
Cheers ian
