The Canon 300D can be picked up on ebay for around $100 body only. You would need a 2" adapter to attach it to the 2" focuser of the ED80. If you looking for the same FOV as the TOucam, sorry Ken this will not happen (cheaply), although you can crop the full size image with good results. The other things you would need with a DSLR are either a serial adapter or Bulb cable to allow you to do longer than 30s exposures.
It's a completely different game than what you were playing with the Toucam. It can be frustrating at times as not everything works perfectly. Good luck with your decisions.
