The Canon 400D (EOS Rebel XTi); and the Canon EOS 30D are very similar. The 400D is an update of the 350D; both of these are part of the "Rebel" line, which are less expensive versions.

Rebels have plastic (polycarbonate) bodies, maybe not as robust innards, maybe a little less weather-resistant, and may lack a few minor features of their more expensive siblings. On the plus side, they are a little lighter. They are aimed at a serious photographer, but perhaps not a pro or someone who is really putting a lot of strain and use on their camera. But with a few minor exceptions, they all can use the same accessories, lenses, flashes, etc.

A lot of what is great about any of these Canon digital SLR cameras is that their digital insides are (incredibly) fast and capable, so Rebels use the same digital processors and tend to have the same or similar technical capability and specs, image quality, etc. as the more expensive EOS cameras. But watch the numbers, the following cameras have about the same electronics:

400D = 30D (both, the latest, and both awesome cameras :-)
350D = 20D
300D = 10D

Hope this helps!
