.... wtf. You mean the macro shots you GET from the Canon 100mm F2.8?

No, it's a macro lens. Macro lenses give 1:1 reproduction on the size - a penny coin in real life is penny sized on the sensor causing masssssive resolution and amazing detail!

ohhh ok.

http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2009/03/canon-500d-hi-d.html is that as good a deal as they say it is?

Yes.. and no. Yes, it's going to be a ball-beltingly good camera, but no - full HD video is only 20fps so it's not as many frames as a normal film camera - lower the resolution to half-HD (still more than standard def) and you get the 30fps you need for good smoothness.. head on over to gizmodo and read their review for a better insight!
