I have one of those, and while still fiddly, it is workable. Sometimes
I need to tilt the camera to the right so that the CF card slips out due
to gravity.

In terms of "equality", the *ist D plays in the same liga as the 10D, so
theoretically they should not be concerned. But we know that price is
very important, so lots and lots of people will buy the 300D based on
its price and not based on how it holds against the *ist D.

Now this I find pure wishfull thinking...
