tim: If the amount of noise is a problem on the 10D, just get the 350D. Since noone can really tell the difference between 20D and 350D when it comes to the photos, why get a camera that lacks something you need just because of an image thing? Get the battery grip with the 350, makes it a lot nicer to handle, and unless someone that actually knows something is looking hard, people will just see a big camera I think. Obviously, you need to get the black one though... =)

A 20D with katzeye screen, tons of lenses, a couple of
pods, a flash and some bags. Also some MF cameras,
like a RZ67, Moskva 5 and Agfa Isolette I, II, III :)

Just buy another 20D as your back up - then you wont have to worry at all.

Go on you know you want to :p

First off, this is my first SLR camera, but here is my 2 cents on this camera. This might be a small thing, or it might be a big thing, its something to consider though since you mentioned having to access some of the functions through the settings. Well, the basic functions, ISO, AF, WB, and metering mode are on the 4 arrows. If you are in a dark theatre or even outside at night, sometimes its very hard to see, so unless you memorized them, you wont know which one is which until you press something. Also, if its dark, you wont be able to see jack from the top window that tells you the shutter speed and the aperature until you hit the light button. Sure you can always look through the view finder to see what those numbers are, since they light up, but I just feel retarded doing that for some reason.

I've had my Rebel XT for only a couple of weeks now, and it hasn't gotten much use. But I can tell you one thing, and that is the buttons are very easy to learn. You just need to get a passing familiarity with the camera and I think you can remember which button to push if you want to change the White Balance, ISO, Metering mode, or AF mode.

And for those who are worried about image, who cares? Its not the camera that makes the image, but the photographer. And besides, if you get the black body and the battery grip, most people are going to mistake you for a professional anyway. Heck, I've seen some professional news photographers using a silver 300D for a small town paper.
