What is better digital cameras or pocket camcorders?

I am looking to buy a new digital camera or pocket camcorder to take videos of bands play at concerts(loud!). I have heard that pocket camcorders are not as good as digital cameras with zoom and quality of video. Which is better and what are some good pocket camcorders and digital cameras to look into purchasing?

I would suggest Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD with HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output.
