The problem with A-100 (as opposed to Minolta DSLRs) is that it's NOISY. Okay, so is Nikon D80 (a bit less, though). 400D is the best of the crop (pun intended), but I'm not a fan of APS-C cameras with 10 megapixels.
8 is more then enough, IMHO, if you REALLY need more (landscapes, extra-large prints), why not look at the full-frame cameras (Canon EOS 5D springs to mind - it is THE ultimate low-light DSLR in my opinion, plus it's hard to beat in terms of real resolution). Or, good'ol medium format.
