Are DSLRs worthwhile?

Hey yttalklings

I was just pondering on the idea of getting a dslr camera to record my videos in... So I have a free questions!

1) do you have to get external microphones for them and if so, how much would a decent one cost?
2) do the video files take longer to process on YouTube than a standard camcorder footage? And if so, how much longer will it take to upload?

3)would it even be worthwhile for my channel? Like, am I okay without one or would it make for better, cleaner, more professional videos or would it not make much difference for my channel? I'm still a pretty small youtuber but I VLOG etc, so by all means go and have a look at the type of videos I do - I'm not doing professional short-movies or anything so is a dslr necessary Or is it just more of a luxury for the standard vlogger?

Thanks in advance guys! I'm probably looking at ones between £150 and £250 if that helps!

With that kind of money I would go on a video camera instead of a DSLR. I am also in your situation, but I will soon buy a new camera.
