Camcorders Audio

Are DSLR cameras are better than HD camcorders?
I want to know if DSLR cameras are better than HD camcorders? And what models in particular are good. I’ll be using the camera for interviews, recording freestyles, possibly music videos and live performances. My budget is up to £450/$730. I’ve heard DSLR cameras have poor audio.
EDIT: Thank you for your answers. Are there are any HD camcorders that you can recommend within my budget?
If you’re choosing a camera for video projects, buy a video camera.
Adding:
I don’t know of specific models, but B&H is good so look at their site. Their people are excellent so call or email with any questions. Here’s a search of their HD video cameras from $500–$800.
