I started with a Nikon Coolpix then a Pentax *istD. Eventually I got a QHY8 and everything, I mean everything became much simpler. No noise, no power hacks to bypass camera batteries, no wait for frame downloads, standard FITS for capture, no issues with proprietary file formats, weight, the list goes on.... Looking back, my advice is: get a (small) OSC CCD, get into it straight away and save yourself a whole world of pain.
