ive been looking for one of those big nice black cameras preferably Canon or any popular brand, and i want to know which one is the best for video/macro/super macro/scenery/portraits. help me please :]]] prices would be nice too
Since you mentioned wanting the ability to do video, here are the 3 model to look at and compare:
Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) DSLR Kit w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens - $769
Nikon D5000 12MP DSLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - $649
Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $550
I provide some links below, the first goes to a webpage that has the above 3 cameras on a listing page where you can compare features/specs and there are links on that page to reviews for each of the cameras. The other links I list here are to photo dealers to share some options to help you find a good deal.
Hope this is helpful.

If you require video you may want to look into the Canon T1i ($699-$799 with kit lens) or the Nikon D90($8990-$999 with kit lens).
While I myself am a Canon guy it is hard to dispute a fine camera as the Nikon D90. However if budget is a concern the T1i is also a fantastic camera.
The D90 can take photos at higher ISO (in less light with no flash...) with out creating noise and is a little more customizable than the T1i, but IMO you can't go wrong with either.
Keep in mind there are "Better" cameras (canon 7D, 50D) but guessing that you are just entering the DSLR world these are great cameras to start learning on. Grab a DSLR book (like DSLR's for Dummies) and start learning what exactly you want. Go to a store and pick up a Nikon and Canon and see which one you like better in your hand, and which one you like the controls on. Thats the true test.
The best is the one you are most comfortable shooting with... Although Hasselbald is the best, The Nikon D3S is what I would recommend for you if you are willing to pay a pretty penny $5000. It sounds more like you are just learning so the $800 Nikon D5000 sounds more practical for you. I say go to a store and try the various models and get the one that fits you best. Most camera systems support lenses for all of the above. For the record Canon does not fit me and therefore I hate shooting anything canon, for others the distaste is for Sony or, Nikon ,or Olympus, so go out and try them all.

I strongly suggest that you take a couple of photography classes before purchasing any camera.
A DSLR - "... one of those nice big black cameras ..." - does NOT have macro or super macro. That is a function of the compact digicam. If you want true macro photography with a DSLR then you have to buy an actual macro lens.
The Pentax K-x, Canon T1i and Nikon D90 are all video-capable and comparably priced.
The quality of any photograph, whether portraits, landscapes, or macro, is dependent on the skill of the person using the camera. If you know little or nothing about light, composition, depth of field and exposure then regardless of what camera you buy your results will be poor. The old saying: "It isn't the camera, its the photographer" was, is and will always be true.
So take a couple of photography classes and learn about light, composition, exposure and depth of field and then you'll be ready to choose a DSLR.
You can check prices yourself at these sites:
