Got o test the canon 400xti this evening and all i can say is that it is a toy. when i held it one thing came to mind, it felt almost like the paddle control of a nintedo game console. one big chunk of plastic. the knobs and buttons were all lose and there is only once piece of rubber for the palm.
i immediately felt bobo(stupid) using it attributed to the fact that i am a nikon user and all the button placements did not seem logical or in the right place. the camera is sooo small, this can be a blessing but also a curse depending on your shooting style. the lcd is large but lacks some resolution. was impressed though with how clean images came out even at iso1600.
all in all i preferr the ergonomics of the 30d. now if i had to choose between this and the equally priced d80, ya know already.

I'll have to wait until next I travel abroad.
D70 retails locally for the equivalent of US$2000........ highway robbery.
All being well I should be the states around December and pick up a Nikrap/Canrap unit
