How are you liking that 40D scooter? I just bought one, waiting for it to get here.
And what lenses do you have?
Back on topic-
With your budget, I would just get somthing like the Canon S5 IS or Nikon P80
Canon
Sorry, it's not in stock at B&H but it at least gives you the idea

Nikon:

I say you should get one of those two because of your budget only because If you get a DSLR, it will cost more than that once you figure in new lenses and such.
You could always get the Nikon D40 or Canon XT, but unless you are willing to put out money for extra lenses and to learn all the functions, they arnt worth it.
