Black Magic Production Camera 4K
Costs about 3,000$. Not the exact same model, but all Black Magic cameras are pretty darn expensive, however the quality is beautiful.
Hi /u/cwtchweddings - sadly, the [GH4] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I9GYG8O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00I9GYG8O&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) does not output 12-bit uncompressed RAW. The specifications are [here (click on "specs")] (http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMC-GH4KBODY).
Below $5,000, you would have to buy a [Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CWLSHUK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00CWLSHUK&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) , [Cinema Camera] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A4NPTMC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00A4NPTMC&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) or [Production Camera] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CWLSHYG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00CWLSHYG&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) for RAW (or you could use Magic Lantern firmware to record RAW with a Canon camera).
That said, I have a [Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CWLSHUK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00CWLSHUK&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) for recording RAW - but I prefer to use its 10-bit 422 ProRes output 99% of the time because it is so much easier to deal with. I'm guessing that I'll be just as happy with the [GH4] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I9GYG8O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00I9GYG8O&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)'s 10-bit 422 externally recordable 4K output, so I went ahead and pre-ordered one.
Hope this is helpful!

Hi /u/Sonsomm - if you want 4K, a Super 35 sensor and the EF mount, you might want to consider something like this [£1800 used Blackmagic Production Camera 4K] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00CWLSHYG/sr=8-1/qid=1422227966/?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&condition=used&creative=19450&linkCode=ur2&qid=1422227966&sr=8-1&tag=hybrcamerevo-21).
With an [inexpensive rig] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E57A7O8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00E57A7O8&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21) and something like this [£280 14mm T3.1 cine lens] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=221267084096&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg), you will have a 4K production camera with a global shutter that records to 10-bit ProRes or losslessly compressed CinemaDNG RAW.
This will give you much better video image quality and significantly more gradeability than the 8-bit 4:2:0 h.264 codec you would get from the 6D or 70D.
Here in the States, this camera is being used in broadcast television:

It was also used on the feature film "Checkmate" with Danny Glover and Sean Astin. Director's interview here: http://filmmakermagazine.com/87329-checkmate-director-timothy-woodward-jr-on-shooting-with-the-blackmagic-production-camera-4k/#.VMV-tlWJOuZ
I am a GH4 owner, but for film school, a Production Camera might be the better choice.
Good luck!
A really expensive, movie quality, camera brand :D
