errrr... Thought the LUMIX DMC-FZ18 is a point-and-shoot camera. The lens is fixed and cannot be changed.
I think Canon 400D is discontinued and being replaced with 450D. 450D with kit lens wouldn't fit on his budget ($800 ish).
But still, he can get 400D on Ebay if he's not afraid of warranty issue.

This also applies to Nikon slr's (instead of Canon).
