"Best" digital camera

Hello Group,

My wife has been agitating for a digital camera for x-mas. We
currently do not own a digital camera. My thoughts towards buying a
digital camera is that it must serve my wife's demands (family
snapshots, etc.) and my desires to attach it to a telescope. My scope
is a 4" f6 refractor.

Does anyone have a suggestion on the "best" camera for this purpose?
What make, model are people having the best results from?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

I can't tell you which one to buy, but maybe steer you away from one. I have
a Nikon CP5000. It's a great camera but doesn't do well for astro use on the
scope. It's fairly noisy and is a pain to mount and use manually. Currently
I'm looking at the new Canon Rebel DSLR to replace it.
