This is highly dependent on your price range, but if you're going to be in it for $500 prizes, I'm going to assume you'd like to spend less than $1000.
In that case, you can't really go wrong with a Canon dSLR, especially the t series, their entry level camera. I think the newest version is the Canon t5i, but the t4i and t3i also shoot high quality 1080p video and you'll be able to find them for cheaper.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is increasingly popular in that price range, but I wouldn't recommend it to an amateur. It has a fantastic image but a high learning curve.
Nikon dSLR's are great too, but if you invest in Nikon lenses as a videographer, you're going to have a bad time. The majority of video camera bodies are manufactured for Canon mount lenses, so if you ever want to leave Nikon, you're kind of stuck or forced to use lens mount convertors.
With all of these cameras, lenses are arguably more important than the camera itself. With the Canon, the best bang for your buck is going to be a Canon 50mm 1.8. It's a cheap lens, but it has a great image for the price and is great in low light. If you can afford a good 2.8 zoom lens like the 17-55 2.8, go for it, but it's often near $1000.
Yeah, what is your budget? A bunch of the main stream DSLRs work with the video mic go even though they do not state plug in power. The Canon T3i, T4i, T5i, and T6i all work with it. The Panasonic Lumix GH3, GH4, G7, and G85 all work with it. The Canon 5D Mk3 works with it. The Nikon D800 works with it. A whole bunch more cameras work with it but we can't give you a good recommendation unless you give us a budget.
Bora Bora I mean look at how beautiful it is
Obviously wherever the pic is taken in.
Ill take this camera to take amazing pictures
I'll take my family
Yeah for example, my Canon camera shoots at 1/4000th of a second, so that's plenty fast, and I usually run out of light before I get it to that point.
The simplest thing I can see you doing is using the Camranger as you've already suggested, and just getting a cheap Rebel T4i for the camera since they're compatible. Doesn't need to be great for video anyways, but the Rebel cameras do actually take some nice stills for the price. You will need to protect it somehow, but that will be the case for most under $1000.
This
I have always wanted a nice quality camera. I really love photography and would really enjoy doing it as a hobby :D
But also, this I really really really really want it! <3 But I would NEVER spend that much money on something for myself.
This camera to take high quality photos.

I am a beginner photographer and i made my decision on my starter camera (Canon t4i). Here is the link to the deal:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00894YWD0/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=used[1]
I plan on buying from the seller GREAT BUYS HERE for $425.00. LIKE NEW condition and comes with the stock 18-55mm EF-S IS II Lens. the deal seems really good after thorough research. HOWEVER the only thing holding me back form placing my order is the fact that i have never purchased a (slightly) used electronic on Amazon from a used seller, and that this Canon camera is not through Canon's partnership with Amazon; instead it is from a seller called GREAT BUYS HERE, which has FABULOUS reviews by the way. I just want to know how their returns work if i did not like the camera for some strange reason. will they accept my return if i did not like the camera after the first day? And the return still through Amazon in a way? like will i need GREAT BUYS HERE's approval to return the product?
Here are some cameras i'm used or that i've worked with footage from that are in the "affordable" range I think. This is a decent cross-section I think of a lot of the DSLR and Camcorders out there.
It really depends on if you just want a really basic camcorder to just use as a learning platform (I would consider a used DVX or something if that's the case), or if it's something you want to try to use as a professional rig, and if so what do you want to do with it? Narrative work, documentaries, videography work?
Depending on what you're planning some cameras on this list will be good choices, some will be bad.
If you don't mind spending more, maybe think about the Panasonic AF100, or consider looking into the Black Magic: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/855879-REG/Blackmagic_Design_BMD_CINECAM26KEF_Cinema_Camera.html
Or maybe even a used Scarlet or something.

Okay after visiting your Amazon links (and busting up some drywall with my head), I remembered that my university offers production equipment for rental and checkout. I want to give these a go when I raise the money for my own equipment. This will also give me a chance to screen the episode(s) with people to see if they think it's funny, if it is something I'll be able to keep up with at school, et cetera.
The Library offers an Olympus E-620 Digital SLR Camera, Canon EOS Rebel T4i--which I think may be nicer than the camcorders they offer, possibly--and in camcorders they offer the Panasonic HC-V700 Full HD Camcorder, and the Sony HDR-CX350V Handycam.
The editing equipment is on-par I think, they have tons of programs, found here.
Green screen, tripods, XLR cable, and even lav mics are available for rent.
However the greatest resource will be their media production studio which sounds pretty damn great. Also, there is a digital media production studio, whatever the difference is. If you click on any links, click on these because I think it'll be most useful.
