Default Video making questions

OK guys, I finally have some "budget" to get myself a decent video camera or recorder. My needs are mainly to capture videos that can be saved in wmv format and edit them, and of course still pics in jpg format. I need some inputs here to help me make a better decision:

1) Is it better to get a digital camera with video capability OR to get a digital video recorder with still pics capability ?

2) Can Sony cameras and recorders save videos in wmv ? I have an older Fuji finepix digital camera that only saves in avi video format.

3) What is a good and easy-to-use video editing software ? Is there any that can be downloaded free ? What are some "tricks" that can be done with the software ?

Thanks guys !
