I am interested in using Canon DSLR's for astro imaging and I bet many of you are, too. As you've no doubt noticed Canon has a very confusing marketing strategy when it comes to naming some of their cameras. Specifically, mid-range and entry-level Canon DSLR's have three product names – one for North America, one for Japan and another name used everywhere else (the worldwide name). If you frequent astronomy forums like Cloudy Nights, IceInSpace, Astronomie.de, AstroSurf.com, etc it can be difficult to keep track of the names used in posts from members in other countries. Included below is a table that should help.

I did a thorough review to ensure the accuracy of the above information. However, if you find errors please let me know by posting a comment.
