I'm a bit old, but choosing cameras for astro work used to be so easy.
You had to have mirror lock and replaceable screens so it was Nikon, or Olympus.

I am all at sea over this new DSLR business.

Is CCD better than CMOS or the other way around?

I was thinking about a Nikon D90 and then noted someone bagging CMOS. So I started looking at the earlier D80. Now I have seen a thread on another forum promoting CMOS.

What type of chip do Canon use?? it will mean changing my adaptors and lenses, but what are the equivalent Canon models to the above Nikon? Is software availablility a problem for Nikon?
