Before you begin, here are some things to think about.
Hardware:
What is your price point?
Is your desired use indoor/outdoor, low lighting?
How will it be viewed? HD SD?
What kind of storage do you want to deal with -- SD cards, hard drives, tapes...
Tapeless camcorders advice: stay away from the ones with movable parts, use ones with flash ram built in
What acc/attachments will you need to improve? -- Lense, shotgun mic, etc.
Software:
What are your system limitations, memory?
What is your price point? (One of the session speakers said "I hate to sound like your mother, but price really is a consideration.")
How fancy will you edit? You may require expensive editing software or you may be able to use the free stuff.
Keep in mind your end game – selling videos usually requires HD exporting capabilities.
Start with windows movie maker cause it's free.
Hosting:
vimeo
blip tv
viddler
momtv
tubemogul
youtube
Copyright Issues:
Be careful with music. Youtube sometimes won't let you put video up if you're using copyrighted music. Just crediting the music doesn't make it legal. Look for royalty free. Some songs you can download if you give them credit.
Locations – get managers of restaurants, etc. to sign release. Sometimes you need individuals to sign a release.
TV
Live concert videos
Movies and trailers
Commercials
Photos
