The question is, why kind of camera do you get in order to be used with a telescope?
Any 35mm with a removable lens or a place to screw on an adapter to the lens and any digital camera or web cam with the same feature. You can also buy a CCD camera especially made for astrophotography from companies such as Meade and Orion.
Any telescope with removable eyepieces, a sturdy equatorial mount, and motor drives on the mount can be used for astrophotography.

Depending on how heavy your camera is, you may need a bigger scope. My old Olympus camera was far too heavy for my 4.5" Meade telescope - not only would it keep it from tracking, but it also dragged it slowly down in declination, so all my pictures were blurred. Find yourself a heavier scope with counterweights and a good tracking system.

Hi. Just about any scope that can track. You'll need an adapter.
