I upgraded from an EOS 10D to the 350D.
The 350D has the advantage over the 10D of:
1) Faster start-up and processing time.
2) Better noise control esp. at higher ISO
3) Faster buffering
4) USB-2 output for remote capture (vs. USB1.1 for EOS 10D)
5) Smaller form-factor.
... so its a case of what's important to you - the image, or the user experience.

Yes, 350D has new technology compare to 10D and 300D but 6 months down the road, Canon might announce it's replacement and there's even newer technology then!
10D and 300D are already very capable cameras. Chasing the latest models will be like upgrading of PC 5-6 years back. Your "latest" technology will get outdated very fast.

Get the 10D, better built quality and also superb handling compared to the 350D which I find it too small, even with the grip on. 
Although I have a 350D, I would still advice getting a 10D over a new 350D (unless a 2nd-hand 350D has a price that is sweet for you).
- Resolution-wise, the extra 2-megapixel of the 350D won't make a huge difference.
- 10D's handling is much, much better than the 350D.
- Cheaper = save money = get better lenses.
- You're a newbie, so (1) you don't make money out of your hobby, and (2) you'll either give up or upgrade to a better, newer body when you have the $$ and "worthiness".
10D is a more-than-enough body for beginners. Don't be techno-itchy. The only reason why I got the 350D is because I couldn't wait for a 10D deal to come along.
EDIT: BTW, 350D is not "just out" either. Due to be replaced later in the year, if Canon sticks to the 18-month cycle for their DSLRs.

The list sounds so familiar.
Other (smaller) items are bag/backpack, batteries, portable harddisk, software...joining paid shots :bsmilie:

correct me if i am wrong.. the 350D has the same AF mechanism as the 10D
I am not dslr user (same like u...looking at it...hahahha but not yet buying though)... but i agree that you should handle the body and try..
I handled a 300D with kit lens, the grips n weight is great for me! everything feels good. (without batt grip and flash though)
I handled an EOS 1D (or 1Ds ...think so, forgot exact model) with ext flash, is so so so heavy that i think it is falling out of my hand....
(but of cos...maybe cos I am weaker so can only handle not so heavy cam)
I agree with cheaper body and good lens for a start^^ (cam body at 350D range will drop quite a lot.... look at the price for 2nd hand 300D :>)
other than kit lens i think most will get at least these 2 additional lens and accessories (2nd hand prices):
50mm F1.8 - $100-$120
EF 75-300 USM - $200-$250
canon flash - $200 to $5xx ...depending on which one u getting (unless is Canon 380EX then is less than $200)
A good tripod - 1xx ? ...not sure about this...
SO maybe u can count the $$ needed for the accessories you are going to buy, minus it off your budget then see how much u left for body and guess that will help in making decision?
