For video -
You can get cheap softbox video lights on ebay. I spent $750 on a really nice one before I thought of going on ebay. They have a set of 3 of them for around $300. The quality isn't anywhere as nice but they'll work just fine. Be sure to get an umbrella light too.
And as Xenigo said, get a VX2100 if you can afford it. Otherwise a TRV950 (or better yet a good used TRV900) will work fine. If you shoot in progressive mode, you can just grab your photos straight from your video, and skip the still camera and strobes all together. If you've got cute models, and a good niche noone will complain. I've done it that way since '98.
