Professional filming and photography questions

I do graphic design with photoshop and illustrator but more off I make professional skateboarding videos and iv had to rely on other photographers to take photos for my graphic design for me i know all about cameras from all that I've research and i    notice that the a65 seems to offer more and looks like it'd be more of a professional camera so id like a second opinion on which dslr type camera including the sony slt line and other various camera which camera would be the best for filming as well as one that produces nice clean action photography while staying in a modest budget of around $1200 can anybody help thank you
