Marco, Depends on what you want... Personally, I find the Rebels (300D/350D) to be a tad on the cheap side. Too small to fit my hands. Awkward user interface (especially changing aperture in manual mode is a royal PITA). No mirror lock-up. But if those things don't bother you, then by all means save your bucks and buy a Rebel/RebelXT because the image quality of the Rebel, 10D and XT, 20D is the same (at least as far as sensor resolution and from what I can tell image processing software/firmware goes). The mirror lockup on the 10D, 20D, and up will give you an edge with longer glass, macro lenses (which I happen to use quite a bit), and slower shutter speeds.
Two years ago when I went digital, I bought a 10D. The things that bother me with the 10D are the turn-on delay (about two seconds), the viewfinder (it's rather challenging at times to see if things are in focus or not even with my 31 year-old eyes), and auto-focus performance (really only an issue in low light or when shooting action -- I shoot some college hockey games). To get better AF and viewfinder, I will need a 1-series body. I'm still debating if I'm willing to shell out $4k on a 1D II N or not... If I were you, I'd be looking at a used 20D... Best bang for the buck IMO.
