I have a Canon Rebel EOS D1000, and the only reason I went with Canon was because I have had their powershots for as long as I've had a camera, so the transition to the DSLR was easier that way. I love my camera, but I wish I would have spent the extra $50.00 to get the one that was a little bit better and recorded movies. It is a serious PITA to be switching back and forth all the time.
Also, I suggest (if your camera of choice doesn't come with one) buy a DVD on the basic rules on how to use it. It will teach you how to use the basic settings like your F-stop and shutter speed properly, and show you how to properly use AV or TV mode . If you simply put it on manual and shoot away you might as well have a point and shoot with more mega-pixels, because you're going to have just as nice of pictures for half the price.
I have a Sony A33. We chose the Sony over other brands because it has an LCD pannel that shoots at the same speed as the viewfinder-most have a small delay, thus causing it to take longer to get a picture when using the LCD screen to view your subject. This was important because S and I wear glasses regularly and we hate putting the viewfinder up to our eyes when we have our glasses on.
I don't really have any con's....we looked for about 2 months, hit up every local camera shop in town, tried out a ton of cameras, and this is the one that worked well for us.

I also have the Canon Rebel. I am not sure which model it is. Matt got it for me for Christmas, so he is the one that did research. I will say that I love love it. My favorite thing about it is that the battery life is amazing. I had to charge it last week for the first time in almost a month. In that span I probably took close to 1000 pictures.
Honestly, we leave it on auto focus a lot, just because it is easier. Matt plays with the focus settings more. Either way the pictures always come out great!
I just wanted to add, that if you don't know go to a store where you can play with the camera a little and try several different ones. Ask about the Pro's and Con's - They are usually more than happy to tell you/help you out. This way you'll get the camera that is the best fit for you!
Or check out Ken Rockwell's website. He has a ton of great info on there!
