I'm not aware of a Canon 40D, so perhaps you missed one zero. Here's a side-by-side chart on the 30D and 400D. You can see the release dates right up top.

If you are snowed by all the data, suffice to say that the 30D is a giant step up from teh 400D towards the pro-level Canon's. I am sure that some pro's actually use the 30D as their backup camera, if not their main camera. The 400D is a great consumer-quality DSLR, but it's not up to the standards of the 30D.

I like all the answers given so far but I want to add my own experience.....I originally bought a 20D about three years ago as the second digital camera I owned. My original was a point and shoot without many of the features I began to "require". About 15 months ago I decided to upgrade to the 5D for one major reason - the full sized sensor. I am not sure, but given the comparative sensor sizes (larger on the 5D) vs. the mega pixel count, I believe I ended up with about the same pixel density per square mm. Given this and the fact that I mostly do environmental and landscape photography, I was faced with the problem of how to get a truly wide angle lens for the 20D. I had made the decision to stick with Canon lens so I was more or less stuck with the "S" class lens for my 20D. This was not acceptable to me so I decided to upgrade my 20D to a 5D. I love my 5D. I also do medium format film and find great satisfaction with the cameras I use for this (Mamyia and Bronica) My advice is to take the class with the least cost most function camera you can find. If your instructor allows, buy a full function used 35mm film camera (probably less than $100). You can get a truck load of film processed and printed for the cost delta - certainly enough for the class. After you have taken the class, met several digital users, decided if you like photography, determined the subject matter you like and want format best fits your needs, then make up you mind. Richard
