What camera is best for beginners?

[amandamurray110]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to all these and I've always loved making short videos for myself.
But, being pushed towards making a career choice near the end of highschool I'd like to look into
film making.
and if not for a career then, as a hobby.
but, right now i have no where to start.
what types of cameras are good for beginners?
should i start off with a dslr or a dedicated camcorder?
which ones?
anything under $1000 please. (:

Thank you!

Amanda
