Unsure what your looking for in editing software, I've been using Camtasia and it works well for me.. is on a deal at humble bundle at the moment.

Very good. Saying it was for business I didn't know if you were looking for a rig that costs thousands. I have zero experience with those.

I have used a Cannon 360 ELF and the video and sound were both good. They go for around $200. The Canon VIXIA HF R700 also gets good reviews if you like a camcorder. There is a later model of this but they dropped one of the record formats so the newer is not better. There are many free video editors especially if you look for ported versions of Linux software.

Mac or Windows? Or do you want to do it all on your smartphone/tablet?

I like Adobe Premier Elements. (not Pro)

Premier has easy (beginner) modes and expert modes once you figure out what you are doing. 

$100 on Mac or Windows. 

Will work with just about any digital camera format, including video files from your smartphone.

In case you don't already know this, if you have an account on youtube, you can directly upload videos from your smartphone or tablet right to your youtube channel. Then you can do some basic editing there.
