I think a concise summary of the differences between the D80 and 400D would be:

- the Nikon has more and better thought out features
- the Canon still just about has the edge on image quality, but only just

That is my impression from reading all the reviews, owner comments etc

I don't own either camera (I've still got my Canon 10D).
