Digital Photo (from the UK, not to be confused with a zillion other mags with very similar names) has just done one of the many group test style reviews of digital SLR's.
Their reviews tend to be good and, I believe, unbiased.
Without all the details, here were the results:
Canon 10D 93/100 (Gold award)
Nikon D70 92/100 (Silver award)
Canon 300D 91/100
Olympus E1 & Fuji S2Pro 90/100
Pentax 1st D 87/100
Sigma SD10 85/100
Nikon D100 84/100
What really surprised me there is where the Nikon D100 came out, although I admit all the results were very close. The comment they had by the Nikon D70 was ...
"Knocks the spots off the D100 in terms of image quality and performance, and comes in 500 quid cheaper. If you've got Nikon-fit lenses, you need to check this out".
The D70 seems to be getting some really great press out there, and where as I do prefer my 10D, if I were shopping from scratch and budget was a major issue I think I would go for the D70 over the 300D.

Thanx for the info. I am not surprised with the 1-st and the second place. What did they comment on Pentax*ist D?

Too complicated to give in depth, as there is a whole page devoted to each camera, but (and remember it was all reasonably close):
It lost points mostly on not being as solidly built as some, but still pretty good, and the real downer was it did not do very well in the auto focus tests, especially with low contrast conditions.
Their final comment was "A great camera, but falling prices have left it a little out of its depth".
