400D vs. 30D


There were 2 customer meetings today which occupied most of my time.  The one in the morning ended with an extended lunch.  The second one was a short one after which I went to Canon's show room in TST.  Recently I have been thinking VERY seriously about getting a 400D or 30D.  The latter has a better and much more solid build however it costs ~HK$3K more.  My plan is to get an entry level one and then will probably acquire the follow-on model of 5D.  It's difficult to decide as the 30D is attractive too.

Roadmap:
(1) 400D Kit or 30D Body
(2) Get 1 Lens in 1st purchase
(3) Get 1 Lens & Flash in 12 months time
(4) Get the follow-on model of 5D
Current Offer from Broadway 400D 30D
Body 5,680 8,350
Kit 6,380 (a basic lens) 12,460 (with a more advanced lens)


So 400D?
Or 30D?

If you buy 30D today, probably you will not be motivated to get the follow-on model of 5D anymore.

Suggest to save 3K for a better lens (which could be reusable later)
