Yes, you are right. Some small telescopes have a strong mount, and it is what counts if you want to attach the camera of course. Mine actually could work with a DSLR camera I think if I buy a new focusser (and I will one day - this helical one is just not strong enough). I don't know the Aldi telescope the OP mentions.
I bought a new point-and-shoot camera just after Christmas and with the Canon cashback is was really cheap. I am pretty happy with it so far.
