I use the Canon 300D (older model Rebel) with my MacBook. It works flawlessly. I do use a FireWire card reader because it's so much faster than USB through the camera itself. But I have in a pinch just hooked the camera straight to the MacBook and it's recognized and transfers perfectly. I would assume the new Canon's would work just as well.

I use the Canon EOS Kiss Digital N, which in the US is the Rebel XT or something. I also use an external card reader, and the MacBook works fine with the camera.

I also use Adobe Lightroom and Photo Elements 4.0 to process and manage the photos, and they both run very well on the MacBook.

You'll have a lot of fun, it seems like the MacBook and MacBook Pro were just made for this stuff.
