Marlene, This may be a bit expensive, but a very convenient two-in-one solution.
A Canon EOS 550D gives you an 18 MPixel digital SLR camera, as well as a 1920 x 1080 25 fps (full HD) movie camera. Mono sound built-in; stereo sound with external microphone. About AU$ 1500 with twin-lens kit and 16MB memory. Suggest you also get a second battery and memory card for longer filming, and a tripod if you want to film with the telephoto lens. About 49 min on a 16MB card in full HD. Produces .mov files that load directly into iMovie. Very happy with mine.
