You'll have to clarify this question a *lot* more before we can come up 
with a meaningful answer for you.

iMovie isn't free, but it does come bundled on most iMacs. You will be 
able to download the new iMovie 3 on January 25th.

Here's a handy list of good cameras at price points from $500 to $5000:

Quality and the ability to shoot professional-level stuff. But of 
course you need to ask yourself the following:

1. Is this video project the kind that needs a $2500 camera (ie 
professional, complex) or a $500 camera (amateur, simple)

2. Do you have the skills/talent/lighting/sound/etc to complement the 
$2500 camera or the $500 camera?
