Replying to Camera/Photo Camera Question

Hey guys! I was hoping I could score a bit of assistance and or opinions from you all.. More recently I've been involved in the unmanned aerial movement (drones) but i'm going to be making a transition back into video production without a drone and i'm looking to get my hands on something thats good quality and reputable.

I've taken a few years off from school but i'm going to be going back next semester for computer technology and maybe a minor in photography or something along those lines, and basically i'm trying to score a good camera thats going to get me through school and get the job done the right way...

I'm not really concerned about price margin, just want to be reassured i'm getting long lasting quality and good imagery along the way. Any suggestion you guys have for me it would be greatly appreciated, i'm not the most educated on the whole video camera/ still camera movement right now at all and would really love to become apart of it.

I will be recording/snapping all different kinds of actions sports locally.

Thanks a bunch guys.
