The 10D has been out of production for 2 or 3 years. It originally cost around £1200 and the current equivalent 30D can be had for £750 or so. A good 10D can now be found for £200 to £250.
I have a 10D and I would recommend it every time. Much better build quality and the shutter should be good for 50,000+ actuations, whereas the 350D is probably good for only 10,000 or so.

ORLY.Please show me a 350d thats failed at 10k... 300d had some dodgy shutters but even they have passed 50k more often than not.
I agree the 350D is an excellent camera and will probably well exceed its design shutter life. However, 10D (and cetainly 20D and 30D) ought to last much longer. See http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/canon_eos350d...
That would show how good *I* am (or not), rather than the camera though wouldn't it?
But look at my website (link in profile) and 99% of the shots were with the 20D (only just got a 30, hence why I'm selling).
Must admit, I'm very surprised to hear you've seen the 350D "outperform" the 20D. In what way?
A huge part of what I like about the 20 is it's feel. It's a lot more sturdy and heavy than the 350 (plastic versus metal casing if I remember rightly?), but there will be others far more educated than I about the specs and merits of 350 vs 20.
As a side note, the cameras taken 6000 shots and I've had it a year (though not used it for 2 months since the 30 came along!)

Just found a good summary of the 2 cameras here;

I had a look at this. Am I the only person who can see how ludicrous it is to generate average shutter life statistics based on people writing in and saying "mine's ok at 22,000 shots" ? What a load of pap.

that makes no senseCanon state the 350d will take 100k+ actuations
they state the same for the 5d
They would not state this knowing it to be wrong. Both will take over 100k and trust me for anyone that is a huge huge amount. So both the 10d and 350d will be good for a long time.
