Basic Dig video setup

[deckitout]

I am looking for a fairly basic setup. A Digicam for recording, the only editing I require will be to cut out sections, add some music and some fancyish titles.

It is not for film making just home and family stuff.

I did consider a Digital Camera with recording abilities, I am an avid still photographer, but with the price of lower end Digital video Cameras thought against it and I have a fairly good DSLR set in Canon 5D and Oly E510 so rarely use a digicam for photography

What would be the best Digicam and software to go with being a total novice

Thanks in advance for any help

If you are on Windoze then you already have MOVIE MAKER. This will do everything you ask. Just make sure it's the latest version as earlier ones had a bunch of bugs.

If your PC has a firewire socket then you can get vid from a Digital video cameras very fast. If you only have USB it's a lot slower. Any half decent video camera will have Firewire out (check)
