It's a tough choice between a 1000 and 3000D for me. I like the 1000's size and layout, and the keyboard garage is uber cool. But compared to the 3000D it can be a tad cheap and plain looking, in particular how the memory card slot can get a bit out of alignment when beat up.
I think on looks alone I'd have to vote for the 3000D. It's a nice size and the front grill design make it look more high end somehow.
