I would appreciate your considered opinion on the following.

I want to produce promotional videos for products I sell online. I need to do this as cost effectively as possible as my budget is tight.

I need a camera that will enable me to produce video for the web, since the image quality will not be crucial, I need a camera that will allow easy trasfer to a computer based video editing system.

I need an easy to use video editing system that will allow me to output in various web friendly formats.

I also would appreciate advice on what hardware requirements/upgrades I should consider in order to process/edit this video.

Ok so thats basicaly what I need, what advice would you offer. Thanks

What is your budget and what equipment do you already have? If you have a computer, what is its current spec?
