Is it worth the investment?
That's a very personal question - I mean it's affected by your budget, what sort of photography you want to do, etc.
I have a ToUcam with a long exposure mod. For me, it's a worthwhile investment. I would really like to get into deep space photography, but at the moment I'm limited to setting up my scope whenever I want to observe. So for me there's not much point spending a lot of money on an SBIG camera... yet. I'm only new to astrophotography so there's lots of lessons to be learnt photographing the moon and planets on short exposures, and maybe some widefield shots on longer exposures, before I get into the long exposure long focal length stuff.
My plan is one day to be set up with an observatory so I can reasonably do deep space stuff without a lot of time spent aligning... then a better camera might be worthwhile. For now, I think the ToUcam suits me just great!
