...and I wrote the first comment for his review ....first questioning this -
Optical image stabilisation is built into the camera body, with the 14-42mm kit lens lens that we tested the G6 with lacking a physical OIS switch. Instead it can be turned on and off through the G6's menu system.
...and then his interpretation of why you adjust shutter and aperture in video, no details on sweep panorama, time lapse, stop motion.....then ending with suggesting he takes one of blooms workshops !....he deleted the comment !

...this guy knows next to nothing about video ! Note he has a 1080 at 20 fps video ! ....I'm downloading it....just because my harddrive hasn't eaten this afternoon !
Can ISO be changed in G6 during recording video?

G6 was at -5 sharpness, so I think detail between the two cameras is equal.
@mjfan It's lacking the multi-aspect ratio feature, but it makes up for it in having 1080p50/60 instead - even in ex-tele mode, which even GH3 lacks. I think the image is in some ways more filmic, in that it seems to have less 'digital' screaming artefacts like banding and shadow noise.
G6 also has a 3.5 inch microphone jack (and I think manual audio control) and focus peaking, which are more serious video features that are nice to have.
Provided that G6's sharpness was dialed down to -5 compared to -2 on GH2 they seem to be quite on par in terms of resolution. Note that G6 also has 20mbps codec while GH2 was hacked. I also like color rendition on G6, less yellow cast. It also seems to have less noise. So far so good.
Didn't the G5 also use the GH2 sensor? If so should we expect the G6 to have much of a different image to that of the G5? If the G6 and G5 image is similar, does anyone know what the actually detail level of the G5 was relative to the GH1, GH2 etc? Where would the G5 sit in that regard and should we expect the G6 to be any better than that?
The video that Renovatio posted on the previous page does indeed look soft, but look at video that Panasonic uploaded taken with the GH2:
It's similarly unsharp. But it does display noticeably more banding in the sky.
Bottom line is, we won't know what the quality is like until it releases. Fingers crossed for GH2-esque sharpness. I'm really looking forward to this camera. It's a shame to sacrifice multi-aspect ratio, but 1080p60/50 (even in ex-tele mode) is an acceptable trade-off. I think this seems like a better camera to direct hack resources too than the GH3, which has nice, gradable codecs already.
