Satisfied? No one is ever satisfied.
Entry level DSLR cameras are not the best for astro imaging, but they are cheap and will get you started. They are a big step up from a point and shoot.
Unmodified entry level DSLR's have trouble with Ha nebula. The inbuilt filter really kills nebula shots, although using a nebula filter in the optical path helps, with an extended exposure time to compensate.
Modded versions with the standard filter removed makes them much more suitable for Ha astrophotography. The procedure is fiddly, personally I wouldn't do it.
Depends what you want to shoot to how suitable each version is.
