As I said on the phone John, get the 400D body and a 17-70 sigma lens. You really can't go wrong. 10mp, plenty of resolution at a great price. The 17-70 is an excellent lens for the price ($450+), great zoom range, sharp and has macro too!
You'll need to check whether your film lenses will fit on the 400D body without an adapter.
Good luck with your purchase!
