hey, konichiwaneko, the 200-1600 iso thing threw me for a bit as well. If you are not currently invested in a line of glass, i would humbly suggest the rebel Xt that is about to come out. 8.0 mp, fine line of canon glass, no lens worries as nikon bodies only work completely with certain lenses, although that is not an issue if you are just buying new glass.
The canon iso100 is supremely smooth, but noise at 200 on the nikon or canon is going to be almost nil in prints and only even barely noticeable if you are staring at a shadow at full size on a large monitor.
the nikon is faster than the original 300d, but the 350 seems to trump both in terms of speed and usability. Mirror lockup, fec, 100-1600, .2s startup, 400+ pics on a battery charge, 8mp, 5 shots in raw mode, 15 or so in jpg consecutive at 3fps.
not to sound like a canon ad, but the new 350d is a nice setup with an 18-55 lens for $1000. i will give it up to nikon for providing a better feeling lens as part of the kit, but quality seems to be about the same in terms of resolution/contrast/sharpness
