Q. I want a fancy camera that isn't over $600. I want it to be digital and have an amazing zoom and close up picture ability. I also want it to be able to record video too.
A. With that price your fancy camera could actually become one of the digital SLR cameras.
One is $40 above your budget but real great is Nikon D3000

what is the difference between a point and shoot and a digital camera?
Q. looking for a camera and i came across the options of point and shoot or digital at first i thought that meant the professionally used cameras but when i clicked point and shoot it actually had some of the cheaper priced name brand cameras. is there a difference in picture quality? if so, which takes more professional looking photos?
ALSO do either take movie quality or music video quality video?

A. Basic compact cameras that have very limited control options are called point-and-shoot. It's a type of camera. You basically just point the camera to your subject and click the button. Point-and-shoot cameras can either be film based or digital.
Digital refers to the way the picture is saved or stored. Digital cameras use electronics (memory cards or chips) to store the picture instead of using film. Digital cameras can either be point-and-shoot, dSLR, or hybrid.

Picture quality depends on the skill of the photographer. The type of camera used or the way it is saved is of little importance.
Professional is a label given to people who get paid doing what they do. A person can be a professional photographer if he gets paid to take pictures or if the pictures he takes get sold. Whether the pictures are great looking or not is beside the point. Professional basically means money involved.
Movies are just another form of medium just like still photographs. Movies can be shot with film or done electronically. Those that are stored electronically are better referred to as video.
The best camera for getting video is the camcorder. The most high-tech camcorders to date are digital.
The camcorder is a video device. If you want great sound to go with your video, use an equally great sound capturing device or audio recorder. The really good digital camcorders generally have good sound recording too with options to use external microphones for better sound capture.

Should I get a nikon d7000 or a camcorder?
Q. So, in a few months i will receive some cash (around 500-600 pound) and decided i would spend it on updating my photography and videography equipment. I currently own a nikon d70 which i bought second hand in 2010 and a 720p 24fps samsung camcorder which cost about £180 back in 2011. I own a few lenses for my dslr and am happy with how it is. BUT i am definately feeling the limitations of an almost fully auto camcorder. In addition it also has a low quality built in microphone with no options to do pretty much anything.
So basically, should i get a mid range camcorder...

and external microphone...
... or get a nikon d7000, with many of the same video options and a headphone jack. I do feel the d7000 is the better option as my d70 is almost 8 years old and the bigger range of manual control, accessories and higher spec all round may produce more quality video.

But the frame rate, zoom and overall professional look of a camcorder for video are getting to me.
Also, i could maybe hang on for a while before making videos and get a good microphone for a d7000, but, i dont know. Thanks in advance!

A. You can make some stunning videos on a DSLR, while keeping the benefits (against a 3 sensor camcorder) of Shallow DOF from the large sensor, reduced noise and cost. I can't comment much on Nikon, I'm a Canon user, but if you have some good lenses that you like I'd go for a body upgrade.
For audio, I use Zoom H1s - dirt cheap and very reliable. I often mount one on the tripod mount and attach it to my audio in with a short cable, or use a clapper board and sync them later. Most dialogue on films I record with a boom mic and sync.
