Most cameras today are capable of producing really good results, if you know what you're doing. This isn't the early 2000's where there was a huge image quality difference depending on what camera you went with. The quality differences between a Canon C100 and Arri Alexa can be very difficult to spot, especially when we are talking about non-threatrical distribution.
Things like sound quality, lighting, technique, and editing are going to play a much bigger role in the overall quality of your video than what camera you select.
Instead of trying to parse which camera has the most dynamic range, or performs best on resolution tests, or most accurate color reproduction, I suggest you pick a camera that works for you- Something that gives you, the camera operator, the best ergonomic experience when shooting. Also, something that works with your workflow. You might be able to get a Blackmagic Cinema camera, but working with RAW video might not be the best option for you.
Someone who knows what they are doing can produce great results with a cell phone camera. Likewise, someone who doesn't know what they are doing can use the best camera in the world and still not produce a good video.
So, don't focus so much on getting the "best" camera. Produce good content. Light it well, and figure out some way to capture good audio. Do these things, and even if your camera is only so-so, you will still have a great video.
