Hello, as the title say's I am new to the world of DSLR cameras. I had been using a Nikon 5000 camera for years but it is getting slow and the lens is 'creaking' as it goes in and out. So I decided to replace it and found a Canon EOS 300d kit, used on CL at a pretty good price. So far I love it. I can't say the picture quality is any better than the Nikon, but It is likely I am not 'doing it right.' Lol.

Ok, my question(s) include, I bought another camera, mainly because I thought the price was right and because it was black instead of gold. It's a Canon Kiss, basically the same as the 300d. Is it the same ? As I haven't received it yet. I can't find much about it online.

My next question is: Can I do time lapse pics with this cam? Or does it require external means.

And last has anyone every hooked theirs into a telescope, and that is my plan for the Kiss.

if your aim is astrophotography you should use a 20Da or 60Da as they are designed for it.

Please excuse me if I am posting this in the wrong area, or my questions are dumb, as I am very green to DSLR's and photography in general.
