Here here... I was thinking of responding along similar lines, but my conscience got the better of me, and I could never had worded a responce like that...
You've got my vote with DSLR..... I imaged the Barnard's galaxy the other weekend with an unmodified camera, and that object it very dim!! DSLR's can go deep, no question!
Also there is an image in the latest AS&T of M66/67 that I took awhile back with 300D. You'd struggle to get that sort of FOV with a mid-range cooled CCD. For my money anyway!
Cheers
