Camera and Camcorder Info?

Q. I want to buy a camera and I'm torn between getting a digital camera or an SLR camera. I also want a camcorder that can record in standard definition. The problem is, i don't want to spend a lot of money and i'm not sure where to go.

I want to go to best buy, but i feel like i might get a deal on craigslist or if i go to a non chain store or a store that isn't best buy.

Is craigslist a good deal?
Where else can I go to buy a camera or camcorder that isn't best buy, target, kmart, or walmart?
Any tips or hints to purchasing something new?

BEST CAMCORDER OUT THERE? I want it for cinematic looking film, thanks :)

I want the best bang for my buck ;). I have been shopping around a lot and have decided i might want the panasonic tm700, i can spend up to 1000 dollars. I want to have the best camcorder that will be good for episodes (movies) etc. So i want it to have a really crisp clear image and i want the colors to be good as well. I really like this look of the canon T2i in this video.

But its made for pictures more, not videos. In theory the tm700 has better stats? than the canon T2i, but then i find some videos of the panasonic tm700 horrible! So im wondering if maybe they just have crappy settings when they took it, or is it just like that half the time? or is it just because of Accessories that they have added on?

Heres a good panasonic tm700 video
