Today Canon announced the successor to the 400D, with the announcement of the 450D.   Looks like they've made some very nice improvements over the older model.

Up to 3.5 frames per second for a continuous burst of up to 53 large JPEG images (6 in RAW).
9-point wide-area AF
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
3.0" LCD with Live View mode
DIGIC III processor
Large, bright viewfinder
Total image control
Compact and lightweight
Compatible with EF/EF-S lenses and EX Speedlites

There's a brief hands on over at DPreview Canon 450D hands on (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08012404canoneos450dhandson.asp)

Hi raist, and welcome to the site.  ;)

The 450D is not out until March, so this will be a Pre-order item I should think. ;)
