[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 1101988, member: 29446"] More MP, better high ISO performance, [i]superior[/i] AF with a ton more AF points and faster, better system, better LCD which can help with defining sharpness in photos, and a lot of other features separate the 7D from the 400D. I mean, his camera was released probably about 3-4 years ago. That's a life time in terms of electronics. High ISO performance is vital for much more than candid night shooting. I'm using a 5D MKII and I was shooting at 1600-6400 ISO the other night while doing car rig photos. I regularly use ISO 3200-6400 when shooting bands. I also use high ISO when shooting portraiture in darker environments when I don't want to try and balance a one second exposure with my flashes. It depends on the lens. A Canon 17-55 f/2.8 holds it's value well and if you need a lens in that focal length, then you should purchase it. And Canon only makes 6-7 out of over 60 lenses that are EF-S mount and will not fit on a full frame or aps-h sensor camera. I use a 17-40 f/4, 24-70 f/2.8, and 70-200 f/2.8 IS for my zooms. It covers the gamut from UWA to telephoto for as much as I need. If I were to use these on a crop sensor camera, I'd need a wider lens for the wide angle though. 24-70 on an aps-c camera is just not wide enough at the wide end and 70-40 give you a pretty standard view compared to something like a 10-20 when you need to go wide.
