Those NEX 7 shots are nice, but have post processing and or off camera lighting gear used to generate the photos.
Nothing will look that good coming out of the camera without a decent amount invested into glass and lighting as well. Regardless of camera brand.
The Fuji x-e1 and 18-55 kit lens (the kit lens is actually quite good, and definitely several notches above any normal starter lens), can be had for ~1200ish and is an excellent choice as well. The only reason i suggested this is because the lens on it is excellent, fast and covers a very, very useful range, it is a semi-pro quality lens actually.

For this reason i suggest you look into the canon line up for your first DSLR. Canon has one of the widest arrays of lens offerings available. The beauty of a SLR type camera is that while you grow into different camera bodies for various types of shooting, you're lenses remain in your collection. I would suggest getting an entry level DSLR body from Canon and choose the lens you want.
First as others have said, do some research, take a class, learn as much as you can prior to purchase. These items don't come cheap but can be sold used in excellent condition for decent money. If you buy top end lenses, you can usually sell them for upwards of 90% of what you paid for them several years later.
Good luck!

Looking at canon, what do you think of the EOS 70D and or 7D, i assume i would still need a good lens and spend alot on that to get some good quality.
Im looking to get some video like this here:
This is a Canon 5D mkii with some kind of expensive lens.
