Personally I'd suggest (Unless you have the money) to just practice editing yourself. I may have just started this channel but I've run multiple Guild Youtubes for past games and I can tell you the process of editing is a daunting one at 1st. But once you learn about things such as hard cuts & soft cuts (Basic editing knowledge) with your program the problems your facing start to go away.
An example is when i 1st started editing our guilds youtube videos it was CRAZY with 2+hours of content it took me WEEKS to cut stuff out add stuff in. But now once I started learning hot keys, crop tool, and a bunch of other stuff. A video like that would take a mere few hours.
If your just making Vlogs, windows movie maker is fine. Its perfect for learning out to do all sorts of cutting. And is fairly easy to learn & use. Then after that there are plenty of almost there(?) programs that are around $20-$30 bucks. Untill maybe you can afford the bigger programs such as premier, sony vagas, etc.

To answer your question about your video camera though I'd havta say MAKE A SCRIPT. You dont have to follow it word for word, But it can do alot to keep you on track and keep your videos to the point without excessive rambling. Shoot your video a few times, review each one of them and pick out the one you feel best suits. After that its editing time, here I'd say its time to edit your background noise, normalization, etc. Then follow it up by soft cutting out (or hard cutting) points of silence from the video, and anything you feel isnt relative to your topic.
If you ownd a capable editing software editing your cuts themselves can also help (things like velocity, etc.) but none of this is at all needed, and depending how well you can act out and follow your script you can make your editing time less then 20mins. Its really up to you how complicated and far you can take your editing. But really all you need to follow is

- Follow (Atlest a bit) a script
- Cut out points of silence
- Cut out things not relevant to your topic.
