$600 D40 -vs- $650 Rebel XT
The 350D has more advanced features, it's not castrated, has less noise, carries a more "popular" brand name, and has 33% more megapixels.... But it doesn't change the fact that the 350D is simply less noisy at high ISO....

Nikon D40 Vs Canon Rebel XT [Archive] - Digital Camera Resource Page - Forums
This is a REALLY broad generalization, but I would guess the Nikon will handle "better" and get the exposure right more often while the Canon will deliver more resolution and smoother pictures (less noise).... The 400D (XTi) maybe just about equal, but the 350D is a hair better....

Any other camera will be better for a string of more that 5 jpgs or 3 RAW.... What I was referring to with the electronic meter compensation can be seen on this picture of the D40's viewfinder....

EOS Rebel XT vs. D40 vs. D50 vs. Sony A100
If you have any suggestions please consider my base line for decision making would be the Canon EOS 350D.... I'd say get the k100d which has shake reduction and better low iso performance than both 350D and sony a100....

Because I dislike the grip on the Canon 350D/XT camera.... speed, well delay will be less, but during the transition, you may get a bit flustered with settings etc....
