doesn't matter if you get 350 or 400 or 450 - it's more or less the same level of canon cameras. There are some improvements of course from 350 ro 450, but I am definitely not planning to upgrade from 350 to 450 - doesn't make sense.

The 450d has a larger view finder and a larger LCD screen which would be preferable personally if buying new. The magapixels.. well, it could be good in one way if that is important for you, maybe, but also means more storage space on the computer on the other hand. Depends what your priorities are.
I have the 350d for several years now and would like to update to another model when finances allow.. not sure which model yet though..
A guy whose photos I admire a lot on a forum I visit is very good photographer and takes beautiful shots with his actual 350d but considers it an improvement to change to a 450d and will be doing shortly himself apparently.
Owning a 350d myself I’ve not been too bothered yet with the extra features that first the 400d and now the 450d have come up with, but i think if I was buying I’d go automatically for the more recent model. Although you could probably get a good deal on a 350d now.
Apparently, I’m told, the best thing to do if possible when buying a camera is to go find the models you want, pick them, up hold them, have explained the features by someone and/or look at the features each has yourself, see how they feel and how you feel about them. Take a quick flash card along with you and take a couple of shots, look at card on a computer afterwards at home or at a friend’s house.
Weigh it all up after which one you prefer
Have fun with your purchase!.

A lot depends on what you intend to use it for. But that being said, there is nothing wrong with any of the 350/400/450D series. They take good pics and are quite versatile. I use one as my backup/second camera. Have taken some really nice pics with the 350, which printed great at A3, and as the 450D is the newer version, should be fine. What lenses are you planning to use with the camera, as you need to remember that these are cropped sensor cameras, so unless your lens is designed for that, then there is factor of 1.6 for the lens. Means a non EFS 100mm lens would be equal to 160mm, has some advantage and some disadvantage.
One other thing with these camera bodies, they are smaller than a full frame body, so depends on the person how they like the feel of the smaller body. I personally prefer the 5D, but it's heavier, so always a trade off.

Flu got in the way of research .. but got around to chatting to guys at Photo Hall who were also very helpful - but that Migros offer is effectively unbeatable!
Happy shooting .. : )
