I also say go with the camcorder. It'll give you the flexibility to shoot in different environments. You can also use something like this as a "selfie stick" or versatile tripod for filming in different locations: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FGT...UTF8&psc=1
Since you'll probably doing most of your filming solo (camera subject and operator), I think the camcorder will be the best option.
