my opinion after owning a 400D for 2 weeks is the body is not really a big matter. I gave up D40 1st coz AF only works with AF lens. 2nd thing is u'll be holding & navigating the body all the time no matter what lens u r using. So, u must feel very confortable with the design or interface of the body.

u can play around with the kit lins 1st. but later u'll find out that the kitlens is just a waste of money(no offence to those who r using kitlens, forgive me coz i'm already poisoned by lenses). the price is at least 10x of a kitlens but u'll get 20x of satisfaction
