Here's one from the other night using the D40 Scott. The image has been compressed lots, so it's a bit nasty here at 1260px.

Compared to the 350D it has a much better rear LCD and the menus are far better. Battery life is double. Noise? Nah - not really. A little tiny bit of amp noise past 600secs, but otherwise fine. The only annoyance is the lack of a cable remote - so I use an IR one with a timer on my watch.
