Hi Jedd, that's a big question, not sure if there is a "best" Dslr camera for astro photography. I have never come across any one using an Olympus for astro so can't comment on that one. The most popular camera's here are Canon followed by Nikon with a few Sony's and Pentax in the mix. Canon is the most popular possibly because of the abundance of software available for camera control and processing. If you look in the "nightscapes" section of this forum you will see a lot of canon full frame sensor camera's being used.

The most popular Dslr for deep space seems to be the canon 1100d. The canon 600d's /700d's are also popular due to their swivel screens, but the 1100d has larger pixels and so has a bit of an advantage over the 6/700d's in capturing photons. There is a newer 750d 24mp canon out, but don't know how that one compares. Of course what ever body you choose a quality lens is the most important part, the lenses usually supplied are average at best.

Probably best to read these forums and see what people are using, then google the camera / lens they are using.
