Samsung NX500 (my preference)
Sony a6000
Nikon D5500
Nikon D3300
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100

I will not make photography as my profession so I will never buy or invest in lenses so I will use only KIT lenses
Which camera with kit lens give best Image and best Video with fast Autofocus in Video/moving object

I know some are APS and some are Four Thirds, Nikon are DSLR and others are mirrorless but please consider regardless of type

I also noticed in Sony a6000 some time in live view I see black strip/zebra line on few random object (it's not focus peaking, I know that) so this is a bug in a6000.

I will appreciate for your valuable review, please rank out this list order wise, if any of models which are better then above list eg from Fujifilm or Olympus or Canon then include that also (it should be Mirrorless and budget between $300 to $850 with Kit Lense)

Added (1). in Nikon 5500, 3300 we can't see the setting changes (eg iso, Sutter speed, aperture etc) on Live View before taking Photo and view finder is only the option so in real time we can't take decision and for best settings we have to hit and try, see photo change another setting till we get best on one of the setting, it's annoying.

Added (2). Forget to add few more
Canon EOS M3, Fujifilm X-E2, X-E1, Olympus - OM-D E-M10, OM-D E-M5 II, OM-D E-M5, PEN E-PL7

Why is you are are not looking at video cameras? After all, video cameras are specifically designed to shoot video and have video features NO digital SLR camera has, at least at this time.

If you are shooting from a script and using standard film making technique, you will NOT need auto-focus. Each scene you shoot will require lighting, sound recording, direction of actors and prefocusing (manually) before shooting your "takes"

Since All Full HD video uses the same number of pixels (2.1 mp), the only consideration you need to be concerned about would be the performance of the sensor when it comes to dynamic range, colour depth and maybe performance at high ISO settings, however if you light your scenes correctly, you will be shooting at ISO 100 or 200. You can find the results of sensor performance of those cameras on DXOmark.com. Visiting that site may be a real eye opener for you. What you will see is the Canon M series cameras and Samsung cameras have not been tested.

You list the Canon M3. At the moment there are only two EF-M lenses available for that camera model and Canon has backed off a bit from pursuing that path (mirrorless), at least for now.

You need to spend more time doing some independent research and at least narrow down your choices to two or three cameras.

Here is a link to a video shot using an older Nikon D7000.

There's no reason you can't shoot videos of this quality and story telling qualities using any of the cameras you have listed.

The camera will NOT make or break you as a videographer. It will be your skills using the camera and your understanding of film or video making.

If you don't want to go into photography, why would you buy a DSLR. A good point and shoot would outperform any DSLR at that price point.
