Since you're just getting started, you'll want equipment that is easy to master and durable. Get yourself a good tripod (Benro or Manfrotto) and a camcorder -- for you I recommend the Canon Vixia HF r500. It's super consumer friendly, but has enough customization options that once you get more comfortable in production you can tweak your look. Again, since you're starting out, I would get that camera with a lav like this that hooks right into the camera, so you don't have to worry about syncing audio in post. Bonus points for adding a second mic like this.
For your editing, I honestly would start with FCPX, just because it's way more consumer friendly. Once you're comfortable with the language of film, and the basics of editing, I would move to something like Premiere.
Thanks for the feedback. At this point I'm using an old FlipHD without an external mic input. I really need to get a better camera with a zoom I'm leaning toward a Canon VIXIA HF R500. Then I need to get either a nice boom or wireless mic system. Then better lighting.
Do you have a good consumer level mic you'd recommend? would something like this work until I get a wireless setup?
