Comment Sensitivity is still an issue (Score 1) 108
A DSLR has managed to detect a large planet in a fast orbit around a small, close star. Kepler is sensitive enough to detect earth-sized planets orbiting G-type stars at 1AU, A DSLR (or even conventional telescope) can't replicate that.
I suspect most (all?) of the transiting planets that today's DSLRs could detect have probably already been detected by sky surveys anyway.
