Canon Camcorders S30
Buying a new Camera. Need advice.?
My budget: $1200
I have never owned a SLR or any sort of camcorder before. I mainly want to buy a camera to take videos and shots for music videos. However, if it came with good still-picture taking qualities, it wouldnt be bad either. The two brands that I am looking at are Canon and Nikon.
I have this one from canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/vixia_hf_s30#

and this fromNikon :

In all honesty, I dont understand difference between a camcorder and a SLR that can take videos. My friend has the Nikon D3100 and he says it’s video quality is very good. But I dont know.
If you guys have other suggestions on different cameras that aren’t mentioned on the top, feel free to bring them up 
jack video quality of a camcorder will be great , but there are few problem with that ,
well camera are not ment to shoot video so you cannot shoot video more than 30 minutes , or more than 4gb at a time , so if you want to shoot an hour video you have to do in pieces ,
secondly the file size is 1.5 times bigger than that of video camera .
which is best camera in the list ? well nikon d7000 is the best , it has all the features that t3i or d3100 has and even has some more ,
if you just want to shoot picture and take occasional video d3100 is more than enough ,
if you are semi pro and want best of both world d7000 is all you need .
if you need to shoot video go for video camera .
there is a hybrid cam , from NEX-VG10 , which cost 2000$ but has both feature . it’s a camera and also a video camera .
if you are fine with short duration of movie and ready to deal with deal the problem , all you need is d7000 .
