I agree.
If it's DSO work, you're best off to start with a DSLR like the Canon 400D (or a 350D if you can get your hands on one) and a good quality lens to do some wide field piggyback astro imaging.
You'll need a cable release for the camera to do long exposures, longer than 30 sec on B setting.
Get experience in polar aligning and post processing your images before you move into prime imaging through your scope.
Software like Photoshop CS2/3, Images Plus and Registar are great for stacking and PP your images.
