400D vs. 30D
No difference between 400D and 30D in terms of lenses that can be attached.... On the other hand, the simple wired shutter release for the 400D is cheaper than the one for the 30D....

400D vs 20D vs 30D [Archive]
Maybe if you are a novice/amatuer then, you might consider getting the XTi (400D) or XT and buy a quality lens with the money saved from getting the 20/30D.... Not sure, but the 400D's durability may not be as great as the 30D, which is good till about (or more) than 100K actuations, but you would have to look into that....

Canon EOS Forum: Xti Vs. 30D or even 20D
i liked the build quality of the 30D,magnesium alloy versus the plastic/resin/composite thing they use with the 300D,350D and 400D.... would be better served by the 400D with a good lense than by the 30D with the kit lens....

30D VS 400D?? [Archive]
I have a friend who wants a DSLR and have said 30D to her but she says why not 400D as it is cheaper and has more megapixels!... I've only had the 30D now for a little over a week, and there's no going back to the 350D or 400D for sure!...

Canon EOS Forum: XTi vs 30D
One can also state that the XTi should have better image quality than the 30D (10mp, is afterall, more than 8mp*).... However I don't think it's "better" than the 30D and it may not be "better" than the 20D....

IMHO the 400D isn't a choice with the 30D being only 950 for the body after rebates.... The 400D is aimed at consumers, the 30D is pitched a step above that, I wish I could have afforded the 30D when I bought my 350....

Canon EOS Forum: Digital Rebel XTI vs 30D for Ice Hockey
Thanks to everyone for their excellent input about the 30D and the 400D.... As far as cold is concerned, my 30D handles a day at the rink just fine (batteries do go faster tho)....

Canon EOS Forum: XTi vs. 30D: Question about the megapixel difference
As for which camera is better, well, the 30D is a much more rugged body then the Rebel.... Otherwise the 30D seems like a better camera, based on what I've read here and...

30D vs. Xti (400D)
The construction of the 20D/30D will be better than that of the 400D/XTi, which can have an impact on the durability.... If you must have the build/feel then the 20D is essentially the same camera as the 30D for much less money....
