Had a canon EOS 30D...fuckin awesome camera. Not sure the size of the lens but it had a stabilizer on it and it was great on a tripod or for standard family stuff. Different polarized covers are useful as well.
I'm sure the 10 is a great camera too. If you are just wanting to take some decent shots.
I set up the tripod and timer to do some of my own pics before. Yeah, probably should of had a wide angle lens - at least for the ass shots.
Here's a review on the 10D...great site for camera info. (specially DSLR's)
