Buy a Flip Mino, about $150, put it in your pocket, and edit using Windows Movie Maker or iMovie at first.

Once you're comfortable with the process then look for a prosumer-grade camera and a real non-linear editor, but until you have the basics down and you know you'll enjoy it, neither will be worth the money or the stress.
