I bought my wife a Nikon because in the low end range, I felt the Canon Rebels were very cheaply made. The cheaper Nikons felt like a more robust made body. Some of the buttons/knobs on the Canon felt cheap and easily breakable. Knowing how tough we can be on electronics, I went with something that felt like it would hold up better to our abuse. You may want to go to a place that has the bodies you are looking at and get a feel for which you like better.

You suck for actually being able to go to a brick/mortar B&H.
