Marie
I'm a freelance photography looking to upgrade my equipment. I want my images to be more vibrant and crisp, but I can afford a 5D Mark 2 or 3 body I currently have Canon Rebel T1i and I'm looking to upgrade. I want to try to keep the price under $800-900. I'm willing to buy new or used body what is the best camera I can get for my money? Are there any affordable but great lenses I should look at too?
Thanks!

When you compare ISO image samples from various Canon camera models (in the links below) there's absolutely no denying that a full frame camera WILL produce better image quality in regards to noise levels. So, if you need to use higher ISOs or do a lot of low light, indoor shooting, full frame is the way to go.
However, whether your images will be 'more vibrant and crisp' might also have more to do with the lens used, photographer know-how and also, post processing...
You won't see any real improvement with ISO capability if you stay with an APS-C sensor camera (e.g. EOS 7D, EOS 70D etc. because they use the same sensor). So, you're on the right track if you want superior ISO capability, particularly high ISO. Have you also looked at Canon's latest full frame camera, the more affordable EOS 6D? And it even slightly outperforms the 5D Mark III with higher ISO. It costs approx. $2000 body only, then you need extra cash for high quality lenses.
Speaking of lenses...which lenses do you own? Do you own high quality EF lenses? Do you own a prime lens? If not, you might want to consider investing in a decent lens or two before even considering a body change.
Also, what sort of post processing to you do? Do you shoot in RAW or Jpeg only. If Jpeg only...you should try to learn to shoot and post process RAW images.
The link below allows you to change and set the ISO (try 1600, 3200 and 6400). Select, then compare different camera models. Then click on various parts of the image to compare. Full frame wins...

What camera would be a good fit for this?
John
I want a nice camera, that won't break my bank. I looked at a canon eos 70d and the rebel, I'm not sure what to get. But I want nice quality images, I won't be taking videos really, and I want a camera that I can get a macro lense for. What do you think?
Answer
If you want a camera for macro photography, invest in a good macro lens rather than investing a huge amount ina camera. A good camera with a gfreat lens will be a better option for the purpose you want a cam.
I recommend canon T3i due to is high image quality and performance. It is a 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera and DIGIC 4 Imaging with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens.
Here is a review of a professional photographer, i hope it will help your decision:

It has a 18.0 MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor for high image quality and speed
T3i has ISO 100 - 6400 for shooting from bright to dim light
It also has Video Snapshot features for enhanced video shooting options and has live view for better shooting options.
If you want a macro lens with the camera, go for Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8 USM Macro lens, it is suitable for canon rebels as well.
