Why 24mp?
Head over to the photography thread and I'm sure the boys and I could help you on your way.

I used to work at a local camera store for more than 10 years. Look at the canon T5i or 60D. Get a 50mm 1.8 and youre set up for some excellent images!

Nikon D3200.

I'd also suggest Adobe Premiere Elements. It's good, simple, cheap, and great for basic video editing.

Just about every dSLR has 1080p video lately, 24fps is the bare minimum that you need for shooting video, but I recommend finding one that can shoot up to 60-100fps, at least in 720p (you can always upscale it to 1080p with a small loss in clarity) just for more possibilities (like slow-mo, smoother action, ect...) Hears a link for BH photo video with all the modern dSLRs. You probably could get away with buying a Nikon D3200 and have some extra cash for a second lens or a cheap off camera flash (for photography)

The D3200/5300 or if you can find a Sony A65, the video on those is better than Nikon.
