All my pics are taken handheld. Tripod is too hard to get setup and move around as the frogs move. I'm wroking on some better lighting and a new lens, but have had to poor some money into some other things. Hoping to get the lens soon, and we will see about the flash bracket.

The kit lens will take ok macro shots, and is not bad with a close-up filter on it. I bought the 28-105 USM II and love it for a general all purpose lens. This lens is tough to take frog pics with without the close-up set though, as it can not focus as close.
I will note that if you have not had a DSLR before think long and hard about getting one. Not to say not to get one, just that they get expensive, with more lenses, flashes, lenses, etc etc... Did I say lenses..
I have not bought the 100mm macro yet, but plan to very soon. All of my recent ones are taken with the 28-105 USM II and a +4 close-up. To be honest my old Sony was easier to get a good shot of the frogs with, but I think the results out of this are getting better, and the DSLR clarity is unbeatable. It all depends on what you want. Do you want to spend a ton of money and carry a lot, or just take pics. I would recomend the Sony F717 which can be found now for about $500 if you don't want to drop a lot of cash. Just a thought, and check out http://www.dpreview.com for some great reviews of cameras.
