DSLR or Mirrorless for video?

Hey guys! I was looking at picking up a new camera for shooting movies and what I want to know is: the 1080p on the Nikon D5300 worth the extra cash over the 1080i on the D5200?
Also I was looking at the Sony Alpha a6000 and really like the specs, but the semi articulating screen is a real put of for me. Is there a way around this via a smartphone app or something.
Maybe next gen I'll go mirrorless. What do you think?
Thanks!

Can someone recommend me a good DSLR camera around $700-800?

I don't specifically interested about any brand, but I love Canon, Nikon and Sony. Can we use full-frame lenses for Canon, Sony and Nikon APS-C cameras? And I would like to know what is the difference between Canon USM and TSM lenses.

I saw in some articles that Canon has 1.6X crop factor compared to 1.5X in Sony and Nikon. Does it significantly affect the picture quality or photography? Should I worry about it.

Thanks.
Added (1). Recommend me some good cameras much as you can around that price category. Please mention the which camera you mostly prefer among them and why.

Wandering about a good selling price for my epuipment?

Ok so I bought a D3200 about a year ago after my D3100 and lenses was stolen. So when I bought the D3200 it came with the 18-55 kit lens but I also bought a sigma 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 DG OS, Nikon 35mm F/1.8, and a very nice $150 bag. So now that I've been doing some research and have some money I've decided to make the big switch and get a Canon 7D which a friend of mine is selling (body and kit lens only) and it's in great condition and he's selling it to me for $700. So basically I'm wondering what a good price would be to sell my equipment so I can buy his 7D (it's ok if I need to use some money on top of the sell to buy the body and lenses)

Thanks for all any answers!

How to manually set up the controls on the Nikon D3100 for videography?

I've done everything, but I think the video mode is not affected by the manual controls. The only manual thing that works is the focus. I don't know If the shutter speed setting works fine. One obvious thing that I notice is the ISO. I've pushed down the ISO to ISO 100 and opened the aperture to it's widest point, but still the video looks really grainy

Selling my current equipment wondering what a good price is?

Ok so I have a Nikon D3200 I bought for $550, the 18-55 kit which sell for $100 new, a Sigma 70-300 F/4.5-5.6 DG OS which I bought for $200, and a Nikkor 35mm F/1.8 which I got for $200, plus a $100 camera bag. I want to sell it all fast so I can buy a Canon 7D which I find for around $700 but I'm not sure if that's a good price to sell my stuff for. I'm ok with spending a little for the 7D and a lens! So basically what would you guys be happy with spending my my current equipment? Thank you!

P.S. The Body only has about 1000 shots on it with probably half on the 18-55 kit lens and the other lenses probably all have about the same so about 250 or so each! Thanks again!
