I guess I'm one of the proponents of Canon Rebels for twinning.  Just for an 
update: I've been using my Canon Rebel X rig for nearly 4 years now, in all 
kinds of conditions: cold, snow, light rain, mist, canoeing, sailing (lots of 
salt-water spray, but I keep it in a water-proof bag except when I'm using 
it) and even some nice sunny days.  I've used it to shoot weddings and 
bar-mitzvahs.  I've used it for a commercial View Master job in bitterly cold 
weather (I carried a Realist with me for backup, but did not need to use any 
of the film from it).  I have replaced the batteries twice (yes, they load 
from the bottom, which is a bit of a hassle, the way I have my cameras 
mounted).  It synchs very well for flash, especially at the lower speeds I 
use to pick up and balance ambient light.  Despite its cumbersome shape, size 
and weight, it is my stereo camera of choice.  It has never failed me.   Oh, 
by the way, did I mention that I love it?
