The price is a lot less than I expected, I paid £1,150 for my 10D!

I think you'll notice a substantial difference between 3fps and 5fps, the latter being very rapid and is about as much as you'll ever need for bird photography.
The resolution aspect is minor but is beneficial when you need to crop... a fraction more leeway (or focal length if you want to look at it that way)
I'm not sure on shutter-lag times, but I suspect the 30d is pretty much state of the art and instantaneous, the 10d is a fairly old camera and shutter-lag times have improved a lot since then.
I think noise at high iso settings is going to be another plus point, the 20d was a good leap forward in that, and the 30d will not be worse.
I suspect battery life has improved considerably since the 10d... and that is always a big help.
If you had a 20d, it's be a struggle to recommend going to the 30d... but the 10d to 30d has got to be worthwhile.
The 30D looks to be excellent value at the moment, well below the £1k barrier.
cheers,
Andy
