My company wants to start doing video, help?

My company is looking to start doing some in-house video. The kind of thing where I will be buying a digital video camera, and the president of the company will talk for 30 seconds. Then I will have to clean it up a bit, maybe add some minor effects and throw it up on the web. I’m not a video guy, but they want me to deal with all of this myself. I can’t add staff or outsource.

What I was wondering, given my situation, can you make any recommendations? Camera, software, etc. Keeping in mind that I am a newbie and I will have to get this rolling with minimal training and I don’t have a huge budget for this either. I am also trying to get a feel for how long it will take for me to get from actually filming the head guy to posting on the web. Thanks!
