This is one all micro four thirds lovers have been waiting for; the Panasonic Lumix GH6. This highly-anticipated release follows on from the popular GH5, and just like that model, the GH6 will appeal to both still and video lovers. At the helm, the GH6 features a 25MP MFT Live Mos sensor, which is capable of stunning dynamic range, thanks to a new single exposure technology. In terms of video, the GH6 can produce Apple ProRes 5.7K 30p video recording, internally. This camera will appeal to photo enthusiasts, videographers and content creators. If you need a camera that can perform a little bit of each, this is a dream come true.
As well as its high-resolution video recording, the Lumix GH6 features high frame-rate options, including C4K 120p in 10-bit 4:2:0. The latest heat management technology allows this camera to harness unlimited record times, while both headphone and mic inputs are included for stunning audio capture. Advanced users will appreciate the GH6's ability to record high-resolution footage internally and externally simultaneously, while time-lapse can be produced in 4K 60p. The GH6 features such advanced video features as Waveform Monitor, Zebra Pattern, Luminance Spot Meter, Frame Marker, Anamorphic Desqueeze Display, Red REC Frame Indicator and Tally lamps.
The Panasonic Lumix GH6 features a fast and accurate AF system with improvements to AF algorithms and a new AF focus limiter, so users can set the AF range to near or far, assuring consistent results in tricky conditions. MF assist allows the focus point to be enlarged during video recording, so those that prefer manual focus can experience more accurate results with ease. Fast-paced shooters will love to employ the Linear AF motor, with this system being best to enjoy the continuous shooting of up to 14 frames per second.
This camera includes a high-resolution EVF as well as a tilting and touch-sensitive LCD screen, which will be the preferred choice by vloggers and video enthusiasts. As well as being portable enough to appeal to travelling content creators, the Panasonic Lumic GH6 is tough enough to withstand use in tricky conditions, thanks to its magnesium alloy die-cast body and dust and weather-sealed qualities.
