Another consideration, which lead me to purchasing a 40D, is the compatability with the 300/350D. My 300D died whilst I was overseas, and I had to buy a replacement. The 450D came immediately to mind, but the batteries are different and so are the cards. As I had 4 batteries, and about 6 CF cards, the costs of buying all new batteries and cards, together with the fact that Canon had a 140 pound ($300 approx) cashback offer, made it an obvious choice. Add to this the fact that I have been able to repair my 300D,(the main mirror had become partially detached, and was flopping around) and now I have 2 cameras with totally interchangeable cards and batteries. A real bonus IMO.
Just another angle.
