Looking back on your circumstances, (10 vs. 8 megapixels… etc.) I’d say you made the right decision. I do a lot of printing work and I have both the 350D and 400D, and there is a significant difference in the prints. Seeing that you won’t be using the 400D to it’s max, the 350D was the right choice.

[...] My first step in the field is to complete my photo-shoot with my Canon EOS 350D, equip with two lenses, the Canon 17-55 1:3-5.5 and Canon EF 75-300 1:4-5.6 III – saving images onto my 2GB compact flash card. [...]

[...] After taking the plunge on a DSLR and moving to Aperture, I am demanding a machine with more power to edit my images and perform system intensive tasks such as editing video and audio content. I have a few gripes about my current setup, firstly, the RAM restriction. I can only install up to 2GB of RAM in my iMac (currently at 1.5GB). The screen is also far too limiting now I am using Aperture, 17″ just doesn’t cut it anymore, I want to move to a 1920×1200+ resolution display. [...]

It’s really not the body that matters so much. sometimes it’s not even the lenses.

a colleague,
http://www.flickr.com/photos/williamlester, shoots with a 300D, the kit lens and a sigma wide-angle.

it’s really more about the composition, DOF and shutter speed. master those, and you’ll do fine on disposable film cameras, D80s (mine), 350Ds, D50s and anything else, even compacts.

Welcome to the Canon club :-)
One recommendation for your camera setup. If you can afford, get rid of the kit lens (it’s crap) and buy a good lens in this focus range.
