The Panasonic Lumix G6 is an excellent camera, with very few issues, although battery life could be better. The Wi-Fi features are excellent for remote control and sending images to your smartphone, but uploading to social networks should be much easier, without having to go through the Lumix logon website, which caused some issues. Value for money is very good, particularly as the introduction price competes very well with similar cameras, and we would expect the price to drop over time making it even better value for money.

The Panasonic Lumix G6 delivers excellent image quality even when using the kit lens that comes in the box, and as its part of the Micro Four Thirds system, there are a large number of lenses available for when you want to upgrade, from both Panasonic, Olympus and many other manufacturers. The lenses are generally smaller than most other mirrorless camera lenses, making the camera and lenses a compact and portable system. With this, the latest Micro Four Thirds SLR styled camera from Panasonic, the Lumix G6, Panasonic has introduced an excellent reason to switch from your DSLR.

@Renovatio It's very annoying. At least the PAL GH3 gives you the opportunity to shoot 60p conformed to 24p.

Thanks Flaaandeeers. So, a little bit more time, but you can do it. Thanks, cause i've never had a manual lens such as the Voigt. I'm considering that, and it would be important to have the zoom and focus peaking during the focus...

Hi guys, I was considering one thing: sell the gh2 and take the g6. For you, it makes sense? After all is the same sensor gh2, even if there isn't an hack, the results are still valid. Would sell sandisk extreme that cost me a lot, it would take a less expensive, and will recover money (maybe even advise me what is "sufficient": just a simple class 10?). Then there are the 60/50 fps at full resolution, and the focus peaking. In this regard, but the focus peaking works with manual lenses compeltamente? I was considering the Voigtlander: if I play with the focus ring, then zoom is activated on the screen? Or at least the zoom can be activated? And there's the focus peaking? Thanks to all

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Are you going to have G6 deals (PAL with no recording limit) once the camera is out?

Any info on electronic shutter mode? Can shutter speed be slower than 1 second on G6, or is it same as G5 and GH3, where electronic shutter is limited to 1" and faster?

@Stylz Precisely why I'm going to order a GH3 from the States and have a colleague bring it when he returns from vacation...

@IronFilm...I read the reason the gh3 can't have it is because of the particular toshiba sensor. Therefore it makes some sense , since the gh2 and the g6 share the same sensor, that possibly FP could be added. It would obviously have to be done by pany themselves.

IMHO, it appears , while the gh3 is a wonderful camera, that pany was somewhat overly anxious to get it out the door. Maybe there's something to the chinese rumor that the gh5 will appear sooner rather than later.

There is a thing that intrigues me with focus peaking: Panasonic said that they will never implement it in GH3 because of "lacking of processing power" (but it was implemented in G6). Olympus implemented it in E-P5, but when engaged, the frame rate of the LCD screen drops dramatically - which could confirm that focus peaking is a processor taxing feature.

But there are some chinese external monitors (some of then even discussed here in Personal View) that have focus peaking - and I doubt that they have a lot of processing power, especially for the price. It is VERY strange.

I think the only way to get focus peaking with a GH2, is to use an EVF (with FP). Zacuto Z-Finder EVF for example.

@Stylz...interestingly that's a point. Because of the sensor , it might be easier to add FP to the gh2 rather than to the gh3. However, if you remember, the g6 has a new processor....which also might be the responsible party.

@Vitaliy Care to share your thoughts on this threads topic (G6 replacement for GH2)?
