Nope. Never. Never would, either. Which is why, if in a while (three to six months), the 300D has a street price below $900 or used ones reselling on ebay, it's going to look very good to me. OTOH, I could wait six-eight-twelve months for everything to come down even more. To fall to within my price range. Lenses are expensive enough, if you buy more than one you are getting up there. And I would prefer to put most of my money (when I have money) into glass. In fact, right now I am just trying to figure out if I want to spring for a decent one. If/when/how. Marnie aka Doe :-) Besides I found out at the end of the summer that the woman's pictures (B&W street photography) that I really admired in my last class were shot on... a Rebel! Blew me away. She also auto focused everything. I suspect she had good glass, but let's face it, even dinky Canon Rebels can take good pictures.
