    You could get 1 camera which meets both purposes -

    Sony RX100.
    Video is as good as the Canon DSLR's in terms of sharpness and detail. low light is not far off either. Sony are a dark horse of compact quality video which stems from their HX9v (more on that here - http://www.eoshd.com/content/293…).

    And when it comes to stills its incredible. of course its a compact camera so DOF is not gonna be great, but it will be much better than other compacts due to its larger sensor size. You do pay a premium for it though.

    Has all the fancy stuff, 1080p 60fps, 10fps stills etc.

    The image quality and noise at high iso is insanely good (you can even do decent astronomy photography). The next best camera to the rx100 is a big step down, its incredibly good.

    the hx9v is still a good option for a cheap pocket video camera, the video is very good. But the stills arent great, low light it struggles slightly its a small aperture (ty zoom lens) + smaller sensor, but the worst thing is the bad white balance and color tones.

    Hope thats helpful.
