I would.. I might go just one model up in the range though, after years with the Rebel. It's been a good camera though, reliable and good in varied conditions.
The trick is pairing it with good glass. The kit lens is OK, but you'll notice a big difference with some L glass. Regrettably, so will your wallet.
I'm pretty sure you won't go wrong with it. You can always buy a better lens later too. Make sure you get at least a UV filter to protect the lens, and a polariser if you want some of the neater skies and colours to come through.
Canon and Nikon Digital SLRs are both good though, and I doubt there is much to choose between them as being the two main prosumer choices. I find some good advice on
Steve's Digicams - Main Menu - good reviews and samples.
