It's a DSLR and doesn't have video capabilities.
If it's a DSLR you're interested in for the lens choices available, you might want to go with either a Canon or a Nikon. Not only are those two brands the top selling overall, but have the widest choices available for lenses vs any other brand.

I think it all depends on what you want to do with it long term that's going to make the decisions for you. If you just want a DSLR with only a couple lenses that you won't be changing much, then probably anything in your price range that you find comfortable to operate will do the job just fine. If you're wanting to do much more on down the road with more lenses I'd have to recommend either a Canon or Nikon.

And no, DSLR's don't do video to my knowledge, only the Point and Shoot cameras can do both.
