'near professional' - you can take professional photos with this camera. the only difference between this and (eg) an eos 3 in terms of the quality of pictures will be caused by the fact that the viewfinder only shows you 90% of the frame, and that there is no mirror lock up facility.
otherwise, if you put an eos 300 on a tripod, an eos 3 (or 1v or whatever) on one next to it with the same lens on, focus on the same point, set the same exposure, the photos should be pretty much identical. the only difference is the higher end ones have a lot more features (eg more frames per second, more focusing points, eye control).
the actual quality of the photos is just to do with how good you are at taking them, and how good your lens is.
about the meter readings: it's not too much of a problem as the eos 300 only has 1 dial for altering settings, so you'll have to look at the top lcd while you're altering aperture/shutter speed anyway. but it could get very annoying, especially if you're shooting stuff at night - take it back and switch it if you get the chance.
