Why don’t you go around and research on what camera suits you best? I personally think that dslrs are more worth it for the cash that you put on it. I mean, if you buy a palmcorder now, maybe in the future you would want to use a camera that’s of a prosumer level. If you were to get a dslr, you would have already become ‘prosumer’ because the quality is equivalent to video cameras in most respect but wayyyyy cheaper. besides, you could take pictures with it.
You could also go for prosumer video cameras which will cost you a bomb but definitely worth the buck. but that’s for another day…
Think about it in the long run. I recommend you this entry level dslr: Nikon D5100
