Well, I ended up passing on the d-rebel. I played with on for a bit at a store and it just didn't feel right. It is a little small for my hands and I wasn't happy with the apparent build quality of the body or the kit lens. I was tempted by the 10d, but ultimately couldn't justify the extra cost. I split the difference and ended up going with the nikon d70 instead. Better quality, better features, and a better feel than the d-rebel. It doesn't quite have the solid feel of the 10d (or nikon's more upscale SLRs), but I think it will be a good camera for me. Plus I'm a little more familiar with nikons from the old f-body I used to have. Anyway, I ordered one today from B&H and I'll hopefully get it in a couple days.
