Probably the D80, about the same as the 400D and 450D.

The D60 would probably be the closest, although in many ways
it's below the 400D.

Similarities:
Basically Same resolution( D60 10.2, 400D 10.1)
single control dial
small body
dust control
similar shooting modes (Portrait, Landscape etc)
both 3 Fps

Differences:
D60 3 AF Points, 400D 9 AF Points
400D Lacks Spot Metering, D60 Lacks an equivalent for
Canon's Partial metering.
D60 - SD Cards, 400D - CF Cards
D60 lacks Exposure Bracketing
D60 lacks DOF Preview
D60 can only use an Infrared remote (no cable option)
