I thinking about picking up a Canon Rebel T1i.
Any thoughts for you photographers/audiophiles?

I present, for your consideration:
DXO Mark Sensor Comparison
At the moment, I would personally go Nikon or Pentax. My experience with Canon is that the sensors aren't up there with either Nikon or Pentax, and the Rebel bodies are far from the finest. The non-rebel Canons have fine, even great bodies, but I'm not a fan of any of the Rebels.
Are you planning on purchasing lenses? Generally, Canon and Nikon both have a large supply of fantastic zoom lenses, if you're interested. Most of them cost as much, if not more than the body though.
Pentax, as more of a niche company, specializes in uber-high quality prime lenses (fixed focal length.) If that's your thing, I can recommend them. If you're into zooms, Canon or Nikon would likely be a better option.
Check out the reviews for each of them on dpreview.com, and keep in mind that the T1i is rapidly becoming outdated.
