I don't think the 10D for $499 is a particularly great steal. Its a far inferior camera to the 20D, which is albiet more costly still, and but the XTi is similar price and in comparison to the XTi, the 10D's FPS is the same, pixel count much lower, noise somewhat higher, and then there's the lame CRW file format and jpegs not written as separate files with RAW+JPEG. I sure wouldn't bother with it.
