Default Question about Zenit 312m Camera / Tasco Galaxsee Telescope

I'd like to buy a camera for use with my Tasco Galaxsee 280 Power (46-076280
D=76mm F=700mm) Telescope.
I bought a book a while ago called "Astro-Photography" by H.J.P. Arnold and
I found a camera in it called a Zenit 312, which when I found on a website
is about £110
It says it comes with an 'astrophotography outfit' :
Mechanical Shutter
'B', 'T', 30th, 60th, 125th, 250th and 500th second exposures
M42/Pentax Screw lens mounting
TTL viewing and meter
Tripod bush
Weight 500 grams
Focusing Screen Matt with fresnel and split image
Accepts 1.25" Eyepieces for Eyepiece Projection Photography
Can be also used for Prime Focus Photography
Cable release has Locking Facility
Camera is also available with a 58mm f2 lens or as body only

The website address is
http://www.widescreen-centre.co.uk/t...astropho2.html

Can anyone tell me if this will work with my scope, or if there are better
cameras available (under £200)?
