The Cyber-shots have held up pretty well - Sony's my lone exception to the "if they don't make cameras, don't buy their digicams" rule.
The macro at the time, if I recall correctly, was 700 Canadian (~600 US), or that was list - might have been lower on sale. It serves really well as a portrait lens; I've done a bit of macro work, but it hasn't been posted up yet. It's a bit unweildy on the Rebel since it works like a 160mm, so it's something that needs real space to work, but when I can use it, I love it.
IIRC the Rebel will give you something like 300dpi on an 8.5"X11" anyway so it gives a fair bit of pic space to work with.
Thanks on the pics; I've been trying to work on portraits and I've come a ways I think, but you can see in the pics I've got things to work on still. The costume shots make for a fun take on portraiture, which is nice.
