I've said this before but, all I can say is don't buy any camera without getting to handle it first - you're hopefully going to spend a long time with the camera in your hands - it's important that it "feels right".
There's very few bad camera's out there - some may be better value for money at a certain price point but real turkeys are rare. In my opinion, you'll get better shots from the camera that works best for you - mainly because you'll use it more, and that'll increase your shots taken, and by weight of numbers, your keepers.
There's nothing wrong with the 400D, other than it's been discontinued by Canon, so you're looking at a second hand one, which means you're as much at the mercy of the prior users as you are at canon's design expertise. Personally, i'd only buy my first slr s/h if I could handle it first, and could take someone more experienced with them along to give a second opinion.
