    "Mr. Toyoshima, general manager of Panasonic, said, "Creators will not be satisfied with just recording video," and he believes that the added value will come from how easy it is to distribute the video. The GH6, which is currently under development, is expected to have enhanced video delivery functions.

    If this happens, the stability of communication will become crucial for live video streaming ....... there have been issues with Wi-Fi connectivity depending on the manufacturer and model.

    For future video, there is demand for easy live streaming even when traveling. It is even more important for devices to be able to work together quickly, so instead of developing communication technology on our own, "we are thinking of working with partners who have strengths in this area," said Mr. Toyoshima.

    In addition, there is still a time lag of a few seconds between the actual movement of the person and the movement of the delivered video, so there is a possibility that there will be some discrepancy between the comments received on YouTube and the responses. How to solve this problem technically in the future is also a matter of skill. Lumix is now at a critical point, and will try to strike back from here."

    To be precise this did not reveal anything new. We know it was either CES or CP+.

    Spotted by a good observer at 5 min mark just before the GH6 talk.

    Lumix Cameras CES Special: "you will not have to wait that much longer".

    @EspenB

    I guess it's CP+ show in Japan. Like previously speculated.

    Then again it seems like the GH6 did go back to the drawing board for a major revision before the final release.

    Looking back this thread was started back in spring 2018. There must have been countless GH6 "prototypes" over the years. Without a doubt the Panasonic strategy of going full force with Lumix S FF cameras and lenses put Lumix G "m43" on the back burner. Looking at the statistics the Lumix S route has not been a sales win either, hardly making a dent in the top 10. Could things have better if the developement focus was entirely Lumix G? Or is the market collapse to severe to survive for more than a few manufacturers of high end "Nikon G9" stuff. And the Lumix G sensor to small to be a serious player in the overall picture. Or was it just the DFD contrast detect auto focus which lost the battle to the superior offerings from Canon et all?

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev, you did have some informal leaks about the GH6 developments in the past, but seems to have been very quiet in the last 6 months?! No behind the scenes stuff from Osaka? ;-)

    There's no reason not to have true 6K not 5.7 BS in a 4/3 sensor and Sony or Fuji will eat Panasonic's lunch with a 6K APSC and probably an 8K APSC camera in the same size/price range.

    One small step to a camera, one big step to vegan cupcake baking.

    JourneyToGH6 - The saga continues for another year

    ["camera that shall not be named"] - "We will release specs before the spring arrives".

    Yes. They said that. WTF.

    GH6 small sensor = eco friendly video and photo.

  • LongJohnSilverLongJohnSilver

    GH6 will be built of bamboo and it will be completely mechanical.

  • EspenBEspenB

    It has become unbearable to watch these events as it's mostly CO2, green and brand ambassadors for the first 30 minutes.

    How much CO2 to make GH6 auto focus great?

  • LongJohnSilverLongJohnSilver

    I was expecting a camera, but instead, I got a microwave oven.

    Thanks @EspenB

    16 minutes of nothing. I think most agree the the auto focus could be significantly improved, but then we knew that from before.

    Only 1 hrs to go for the Pana press event at CES. Then we will know if the GH6 is unveiled or we have to wait another 8 weeks for CP+.

    EDIT: I postet the wrong time. The press event is at 19:00 CET. It's been to long since my last CES (20 years!).

    I find this asshole truly unbearable. He's playing sorry for Panasonic's small market share. In reality, he's got a bug up his ass because a camera is still good after 5 years because if all companies offered new models every 5 years they wouldn't know what shit to fill their stupid youtube channels with.

    Good morning

    The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 was announced at CES by Panasonic on 4 January 2017. Five years ago.

    So it's either tomorrow or the CP+ show in late february.

    EspenB, sorry been a busy week. Completely going off intuition only, I could see Panasonic waiting for CP+ if it indeed happens for unveiling and a quick on the heels release date. CP+ has been basically cancelled 2 years running, and this is the biggest camera event in Japan, and if the timing works out, I could see it being a dual promotional thing. Panasonic camera's are widely used in television productions here too, so I could see a wide spread media thing to inform the public of CP+ and remind them that Panasonic makes high quality camera's maybe with a G8 (G85) successor released together for the wider market. Since covid there has been a substantial increase in families and couples carrying somewhat legit camera's around.. As for the GH6s. Honestly, I don't have a clue. I mean, it does seem they stretched three camera's out of one with the GH5, so they may do it again. VK has long since talked about the need for modular design with this kind of camera, and perhaps with the ties to Sigma, some of that thinking may be in this camera, which would potentially make a version S or II irrelevant as they simply offer modular upgrades instead for awhile.. well maybe eventually a Version S sensor if they go all out ala the replaceable sensor medium format cameras. Dreaming now..

  • EspenBEspenB

    Do you think there is a possibility for a GH6S down the line?
