Can anyone tell me how limited from real life personal experience?
No, but EOS Documentation Project - Speedlite 540EZ says it is only useable in Manual Mode...

I've found a few great deals on a D10 6.3MP and a XT D350 8MP
one thing I really like about the D10 is the feel, It feels like a real
pro 35mm a nice plus in my book. on the D350 I think it has an
updated CMOS(sp) plus the extra 1.7MP and it said to be much
faster then the D10. the speed is a very big plus but the body feels
a little cheap. anyone have any real life personal experience with
the D10 VS D350 they can share?
Yes I can , if you are used to ELAN7 series, the feature set of 300D will feel too limited, and speed of both 10D and 300D/350D will be disappointing.

As Hubba suggested: save up for a used 20D/30D, & save some more for the 18-55IS kitlens to get you started. Please note the Tokina AT-X 24-200 might disappoint you to pieces...

Kindest regards!
