Can't compare 400D to D80. If 30D to D80 can.

End of the day, the ultimate question is whether u prefer a Canon or Nikon system.

EF mount vs F mount.

Both with excellent collection of lenses & accessories.

Pair the D80 and the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. I just received mine from Shashinki.com. Good price over there!

There is one aspect you might need to consider.

Are you wearing eyeglasses? I do and I find the viewfinder of 400D is pain to me when I stick my eyes closed to it.

D80's viewfinder is more comfortable to me. But it's out of my budget though. cry.gif

30D/40D without lens.

Thought it is D200/D300 the direct competitor to 30D/40D?

Seems like the hierarchy is like this?
D40
D40x
400D
D80
30D/40D
D200/D300
5D
bla bla

are you confident with photography as a long time hobby? or just a normal guy that needs to get his camera upgraded?

If you choose that hobby would be in your whole life, or maybe a decade. Then go for Canon 400D, soon you'll be upgrading, and you never know you'll probably end up with a 1Ds series.

If you choose as a normal guy that needs a good upgrade, that could last for years and offer good performances, doesnt hesitate with the image quality during night time. Then go for the Nikon D80.

If you like to upgrade to better lenses which is cheap and better performing, then go for Canon.
