Correct me if I'm wrong; but these cameras still require a laptop to control them. IMO this is really the strongest argument to use a DSLR over a CCD-a decision that becomes harder to make with CCD cameras at this price. Amazing what is available at these prices relative to several years ago.

That was my rationale until I noticed that I had a 350D in the focuser and there was STILL a laptop sitting there in front of me guiding the mount. So...I sold the 350D and bought a QHY-8. Yes, it's a few extra cables, but there's those velcro straps to control everything.
