please help me decide...

Depends entirely on what you want to do with the camera. If you are mainly interested in video making then buy a camcorder, many of which will take still pictures but of a small size - 1 or 2 megapixels. If, however, you are mainly interested in taking good still pictures buy a prosumer or bridge camera which has a video making function - not a DSLR however as they don't make videos.

Do you have experience with either?
As someone said it depends on what you want as the outcome. If you like watching movies of places you have been then a camera will make less sense. If you are mainly interested in photos and want something compact to carry all the time then most camcorders will not work.
There is a Canon that is both a still and movie camera. It has still zoom capabilities. It is a large item if all you want is photos.
See if you can borrow or rent one from someone and figure out what you prefer.
