    canon 400d is small in a very uncomfortable way if your hands are any bigger than a child's. Big disadvantage of both is the lack of inbody image stabiliser and effective dustbust system. You might want to also check out the Olympus e510 or perhaps the Pentax k100d/K10d or Sony Alpha. There is much more than just Nikon and Canon you know... don't blindly follow the company with the biggest marketing budget.

      Oh, and you should tell us for what you intend to use the camera, that will help us advice you.

    • agreed about the comfort - canon digital rebel xt/xti with a big lens and a shoemount flash gets uncomfortable quickly.bigtrick
    • agreed, the 400d can be very awkward in the hands--the grip is just too small.Cultr
