Personally I love my Nikon D50, which I used to take some great action shots at the Winter Olympics. The D70 is even better by some reports.
Make sure you go to a retail store before you buy. Many have reported finding that the Canon Digital Rebel is uncomfortable to hold due to its compact grip (v. Nikon), but YMMV.
