Is it better to use a digital camera or camcorder for movie making?

Question by .!: Is it better to use a digital camera or camcorder for movie making?
I’ve become obsessed with video editing lately but the cameras at school are garbage and make it difficult to edit so I’ve been searching around for a good camera. I noticed that Andrew Kramer from videocopilot.net talked about using a cannon 5d and so did the guy from FilmRiot so i was wondering if anybody knew which would be better for movie making;

a good digital camera like the cannon 60d, or a decent camcorder like the Panasonic HDC-SD60K

thanks

well… wouldn’t it be better if you use a camcorder if it’s more for videos?
camcorders are made for videos, where cameras are made for photos, right?
