Balci:

Sorry I cannot recommend one camera over another, don't know that much about
the Canon's. I do think you are on the right track, starting with Widefield
constellation shots.

The prices you quote seem high by US standards, you might find someone willing
to ship overseas from the US if you post a want ad on:

 www.astromart.com

Even there the prices are higher than one finds locally at garage sales and
such.

Also, www.astropix.com is a nice site with lots of photos and a very nice
section on astrophotography techniques that takes you from beginning to end.

Best wishes
