Whats a good professional video camera

[spartaman64]

Budget is somewhere around 1500. Would like it to capture 1440p video or 1080p 60fps.

Panasonic GH4. 1080p 96 fps. 3840x 2160 30 and 4096x 2160 at 24.

I have the G6, but I would do anything to get a GH4. That camera is so awesome.

OP also wanted 1080p/60fps. The BMCC only goes up to 30fps (even on the 4K models). The Pocket Cinema Camera is ~$800 now, but again, 1080p fastest framerate is 30fps. The only thing with the GH4 is that just the body is $1500. If OP needs lenses, that's not going to work so well. The G6 is probably going to be the best value for 1080p/60fps.

 

Also, @spartaman64, 1440p is a screen resolution, not video/motion picture frame size. 720p, 1080p, 2K or 4K are the common production resolutions.

Indeed it will; and that's a mighty fine lens. Definitely go with the GH4 since you already have that. If you need some other lenses on the cheap though, legacy lenses are easily adaptable to m4/3.
