The new range of cooled CCD camera at low prices has now really killed the DSLR is cheaper argument. I have a cooled CCD that I have loaned to a mate for the time being. I plan on using this with a Canon lens to do ultra wide field images at some point. It cost me over 3K to buy and get it modded.
I think that getting a cooled CCD is a better option now and the translation across to CCD is not as hard as some might think. I went the CCDstack route and just followed the tut until I wanted to explore some of the functions.
Get a cooled CCD and forget the DSLR versions.
