Without a doubt the D is of much better build quality than either Canon Rebel but cost $500 more. The Rebels are priced slightly lower or equal to the Ds (at least around here) and offer some more features such as a battery grip with vertical release. however, the Ds wins hands down with viewfinder and ergonomics in my opinion.
