Canon EOS 400D

Résumé : The Canon EOS 400D is the latest member of Canon's extensive range of digital SLRs. It is now over three years since Canon released their first entry-level DSLR, the 6 megapixel EOS 300D, ...

Résumé : Since over 6 1/2 years we only use RAW for all our cameras if feasible and all Canon and Nikon cameras work great in RAW (well compressed files, fast write speed).

Résumé : Canon's highly popular 350D has been replaced with this stonking 10MP model.......

Points forts : Compact, build quality, dust reduction, improved AF, good Raw file quality

Points faibles : Chroma noise especially in JPEGs, position of DoF preview button, limited purchase of right-hand grip

Conclusion : There's no doubt that the 400D will be just as successful as the 350D, if not more so. Canon has added some really useful features and made a camera different enough to warrant an upgrade, without changing the basic functionality of previous models. ...

Conclusion : In most other respects, the control layout on the 400D mimics that of the 350D, which is pretty much how it's been on Canon dSLRs since the beginning. That's an unfoolish consistency I can get behind.

Conclusion : Thus, the decision is not an easy one. And sorry, I can't answer it without knowing your specific situation.
