My AUD$0.02
As a raw beginner in astro, but having had many slrs over the years...
My dedicated camera blows away my 7d in every respect when attached to a scope. hands down. I could never before get images so well and so quickly.
The zwo224 is much more sensitive and requires much shorter exposure
to get a stackable image. (try 2s vs 30s on orion ).
much less noise on the 224.
the 7d hates long exposures and i am glad i no longer risk destroying it
by burning out the chip.
Add to that the extreme hassle of having to balance an extra 700g on the end of a scope, vs having a pc connected to a camera the same weight as an eyepiece is a no brainer for me.
