Nikon D5100 or Canon 550D.

You will want to visit a proper camera shop and test each to know which one is best for you.

I own a 500D and it's an excellent camera for both video and stills but no external audio. For that it's the t2i or t3i - more excellent cameras. They run about $800 and $900 respectively with a kit lens.
