I like that one. Price is good. I have a 10-year old Sony HD camcorder (paid about $450 for it). 1080P. EVERY video gets edited as far as I'm concerned. At the very least there will be useless footage at the beginning and end. There is also a lot to be said for a quality point and shoot still camera with video capability. If you want to include stills in the video you want a better still camera than found in a camcorder.
I've used several programs for video editing. My go to is Pinnacle (just bought the latest), but if you have great graphics DaVinci may still have a free version.
