I guess a more specific question would be - how does the eos 40d stack up against the d90? I know the d90 is a newer camera with a movie mode and more megapixels but does that really make a massive difference? Also, how does it rate against the eos 450d. I mean, apart from the obvious differences in handling and build quality, are newer entry-level type dSLRs as good as enthusiast level cameras from a few years ago?

I'm in the market for an enthusiast level dSLR and I was about to unthinkingly go out an buy an EOS40D (can't afford the 50) when it occured to me that I may be ignoring better offeringings from other manufacturers. I've used an EOS350d for 2 years now so know a fair bit about how to use a dSLR but I haven't kept up to date with the new technology as it has come out. I've read the DP review tests of similar cameras such as the Nikon D90 etc. but they never seem to say buy this one cos it's better than that one because..... So, I've come to the conclusion that all well reviewed cameras from the main manufacturers are much of a muchness and which to buy is down to personal preference or a particular feature. Is this a fair assessment?
