My friends and I are planning to make a short film, but we need a camera with great quality and equally great sound. What kind should I buy?
Also, I’m looking for a great SLR camera for no more than $500. Do you suggest I buy the SLR and video camera separately, or get a hybrid camera/video?

One that you can afford.
Well, here’s some cameras from The Source. I’m pretty sure they’re going out of business, so most of their inventory is practically 50% off.

Otherwise just shop around. You could also use any regular digital camera, and just take out any fuzzy sounds in the editing process.
I hope that helps!
For Camcorder,i recommend Canon FS100 .
Capture video to SDHC cards
48x Advanced Zoom; image stabilizer
Widescreen HR recording
2.7-inch widescreen LCD
USB 2.0 compatible for fast file transfer
The FS100 is one of Canon’s first Flash Memory camcorders. In addition to the advantage of added recording time, Flash Memory offers quick response time, because it doesn’t have to wait for moving parts. The FS100’s lower power consumption rate allows your battery to last longer. Measuring only 2.3″ wide, 2.4″ high and 4.9″ deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry body. The 2.7″ Widescreen LCD on the FS100 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. With the FS100 you get a powerful 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor. The video you shoot will be sharp, clear and more true to life, as will your still photos. The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom on the FS100 extends the power of your zoom. In both wide angle and telephoto positions, there is virtually no loss in image quality throughout the range. The Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor is the next generation of Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing technology to ensure optimal image quality for still images, even though video and still images have different color requirements.
