Is that really the case if you are comparing a DSLR with a OSC CCD? I have tried the DSLR that I have and basically it is not suitable for the job. I could get a Canon body and give that a shot but I think a OSC is the way to go. The cooling, no need for mods, better sensitivity and potential for automated multiple image capture (using dithering) with dedicated software seals the deal for me.
