Or a used Canon 10D at the same price. ;-) I speak from experience
as I obtained one on Astromart for $825.

I am quite amazed at the low noise of this camera for long exposure,
high ASA images.

Yes, they are remarkable cameras. Personally, I prefer the 300D to the 10D,
because I like the user interface and menu structure better, and I like the
lighter weight. But the cameras are essentially the same in terms of performance
(my 300D is modded to give mirror lockup and most of the other 10D features).
