I need to buy a new camera after my Sony DSC F717 expired recently. I'm considering a Canon EOS 400D, but do you have any recommendations? I'm after a low-end SLR, rather than a compact. Any comments would be most welcome!

Update: In order to ensure I can take advantage of a £50 cash-back offer, I've plumed for the EOS 400D with a basic lens. I've got my eye on a lens and a flash, but they'll have to wait until I get the cash. After getting the money back from the sofa, I have buy one of those first! For those following that particular saga, the dining table and chairs still hasn't materialised...
