Camera to match a 80mm f4.7 APO

I am considering a small 80mm FPL-53 Triplet APO for wide field imaging. It reduces to f4.74 with a reducer/corrector which i already have for my larger APO. My question is, what is a good CMOS camera choice to match this scope? For simplicity, and time savings, i am thinking of a colour camera. Given the scope speed maybe a non-cooled colour camera would be a workable choice. Any recommendations? Budget sub $1500 if possible. Would consider a DSLR, but prefer a full spectrum astro camera for compact form factor, low weight, and camera would be used for astro only.
