  Got yourself a D40x or D300. D3 is still very expensive and you need very fine glass to go with that.

  The D40x kit is better than the 400D, the glass included is an overall good performer. D40x its bigger than 400D as a camera, feeling a lot better when you hold it.
  Yeah, you will need to buy only AF-S lenses to have auto-focus, but you can buy a consumer camera if you need auto-focus.

  At least for starters, buy the D40x kit, a tripod, Speedlite blitz-er snitzer and a 80mm lens. You can spend up to $1500 for these, I guess. But look on eBay for lenses. You can find very good deals there.

  Good luck!

  p.s. Yeah, D40x is better in quality than 400D in any conditions. TRY to shoot ISO1600 with Canon in the night and see what happens :P
  Overall, see reviews on both on dpreview.com, but go for the Nikon. It is simply a better camera.
