Your question is a little mind boggling. All digital slrs are capable of the same function concerning darkness.

High ISO, and Unlimited shutter speed choices. The only obvious advantages would be how noisy darker images would be, i have heard that Nikon is worse than Canon for this.

The 400d is very capable.
