but do not buy 400D if someone recomends.(after all i can only suggest what i know)
Got any particular reason you're recommending against the 400D after your time of non-ownership?

Anyone who in general terms says that one should not buy any modern dSLR, are silly. What's should be the deciding factor is how it feels in ones hands.
The only reason I could mention for not getting the 400D is that the grip is as comfortable as being beaten with a rubber hose, but then again, that's subjective.

Therefore, the 400D is a camera I wouldn't think about, neither the 450D for that matter, while I could live very happily with a D40, an a200 or an E-400, which I actually own.
Yeah, the grip is the main thing that turns me off from the XX0D series, but it does work for some people. The 450D's grip is a bit improved over the 400D but it's still not as good as other budget cameras. Good reason to dislike it personally, bad reason to give it a blanket black mark.
(I still think that's just stupid, how much money can they be saving, really?).
Bear in mind that a "normal" lense on the 40d's 1.6x crop sensor is from 35mm and below ( which is expensive as hell ).
The thing is, before getting any camera, you need to try it. TGD makes not only a very important point, but also the most important point in getting a camera. The ergonomics are far more important than the minute differences in IQ between the cameras.
Digital SLRs have a smaller sensor than 35mm (a standard size for film cameras), so lenses have to be built to match the sensor size, which is why you see "35mm equiv." specifications for lenses. Wikipedia has some good info.I am not entirely sure what you are meaning. Care to explain?Bear in mind that a "normal" lense on the 40d's 1.6x crop sensor is from 35mm and below ( which is expensive as hell ).

^ Ugh, no kidding. Talk about a need for standards.
I was referring more to the lens mounts. Would be neat if there were a variety of standards that could go cross-brand.Hey, I like DX-format, it means DSLR's don't start at $2500. Big sensors are expensive.
BTW, Canon has 1X, 1.3X, and 1.6X crop sensors.
