I am getting ready to buy a new camera here very soon and think it's pretty much narrowed down to a Canon either the 300d or 10d.

I am curious if anyone can give me an idea of the major differences that actually matter. Maybe if someone had bought the 300d and now wish they spent the extra money on the 10d. That would be very helpful. I don't know if the differences I can tell are worth the extra money but this is what I have found are:

The 10D has a metal body (magnesium alloy), the 300D is plastic
The 10D shoot at 3 fps for 9 frames, the 300D shoots at 2.5 fps for 4 frames
The 10D has ISO up to 3200, the 300D has ISO up to 1600
The 10D has a PC socket for flash, the 300D doesn't
The 10D has a rear control dial, the 300D doesn't
The 10D takes the same grip (BG-ED3) as the other Canon DLSRs, the 300D has it's own grip
The10D takes the RS-80N3 remote (same as EOS-3, 1v, 1D, 1Ds), the 300D uses the RS-60E3
The 10D has a pentaprism, the 300D has a pentamirror (usually not as bright)
The 10D has 17 custom functions, the 300D has no custom functions as far as I can tell from the specs.
