Help picking out a camera!

[TriFlix Films]

So, I've been a YouTuber for 2 years now and have yet to buy a real camera. I usually just borrow or use my phone and that worked great. But lately my Samsung Note 4 has been dying at 40%+ unexpectedly and is all around unreliable. I hate always asking to use other's high end cameras so its time to buy one.

 

• I leave for Europe in less than a month and would like to purchase it before then. 
• Price range: Under $800 (Preferred, but I could spend more and just open a credit line and pay it off over a couple of months at 0% APR)
• I really want to be able to shoot 4K as well as 120fps or higher at 1080p
• And external mic jack would be great

 

My research has lead me to the following, but please suggest more:

• Samsung NX1
  • Meets requirements
  • A little over budget $1150
• Sony RX100 IV 
  • 1000fps at 1080p
  • 4k
  • no audio input
  • a little over budget $1000
• Sony a6300
  • Meets requirements
  • a little over budget $1500
• Lumix GH4
  • 4k
  • 1080p at 96 fps
  • a little over budget $1150
• NX500
  • 4k but heavily cropped
  • 120fps at 720p HD
  • no audio input
  • Significantly cheaper $500

This camera will be my primary until I can afford a real $2000-$7000 production camera. Your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Get the A6300, and then when you can afford more, get some nice lenses, ninja shogun, zoom h5 for audio etc and more support accessories, with the right gear the A6300 could become a fantastic production camera as well as a great everything camera!

the 4k image and slow mo from the A6300 are insane
