I had tried the 400d in November last year and found it to be too small for me, then the D40 came out 6 meg sensor ok, but it is larger than the Canon. The handgrip was better on the Nikon. There are a few function that would be helpful ie;dof button at least, but being digital you can view your images to check this, all a bit ponderous but not a big problem the dust off system so far not been as beneficial as expected . Know the 40x has 10 meg with a larger sensor than 400d must mean less noise, quality on the D40 is very acceptable with the 6 meg sensor, so the extra has to be an improvement in the quality but must be the true limit of a sensor a the size.
