I am a new filmmaker and I want to start filming short films for entries into film festivals. I have Adobe Production Studio for post production but I need to get a new computer so that I can install the software.

You need a box with at least 2G Ram and a big HD (pref 2) if you are goign to be doing significant editing. I would try a custom systemax config from

Canon has some good midrange DV cameras
