Absolutely, if you're looking at that end of the range, make sure you pitch it against the Canon 350D, which is a lovely little unit. Don't put too much emphasis on the kit lens (the one that it comes with) as generally these are terrible compared with what's available. Most pros would never buy a camera with an included lens - but saying that the kit lens on the 300D and 350D is pretty good as they go - but still ripe for replacement.

But as I said before, it's all personal choice - see which one you feel is most comfortable in your hands, which one is easiest to use and which one takes the better shots. If you go somewhere like Jessops, ask them to set up both cameras to the same settings and take a shot on each - if you've got a memory card lying around take it with you, get them to transfer the images to your card and take them home and study which one looks best.
