There are many pros and cons to every camera.

Certainly a pro to the Canon series of camera is that they are more sensitive to Ha light which is good for taking astro shots. Negative of these cameras is that they tend to be made of a lot of plastic.

As for the Nikons the bodies are very strong and have a noise reduction combined with long exposures on Bulb. However, they have poor performance when it comes to Ha.

I like my Nikon and am very glad that I own it, however if I was going to look at another camera just for astrophotography I would seriously look at the digital rebel by Canon. They are tricked up for astro shooting and cost way less than the nikon or a Sbig for that matter. To boot I have seen some amazing shots taken with them also. As yet I have not seen as many great shots taken with the Nikon.

So anyway that is what I think, and I love Nikons.
