@markr041 While not an m43 lens, I've found the Sigma 18-35 pretty darned good at being parfocal, especially if you begin by zooming all the way to 35mm then focus.

Forget even a power zoom. How about a par focal zoom lens? Most of the m43 zoom lenses are terrible at keeping focus.

@firstbase

If it's CDN 2900 it's more like USD 2300.

M43 price rumour:

GH6 US price leaked? $2,899???

(UPDATE: I have been told this is Canadian Dollar and not US dollar!)

They say "body", but sounds more reasonable with the 12-60 mm kit lens I would say. We just have to wait for correct pricing. USD2900 is insane, then again the YouTubers will not be getting this because of the DFD AF. It's for "cinematic" users all around.

Leaked press text from retailer:

The Panasonic LUMIX GH6 is designed to meet and exceed the needs of content creators. The effective pixel count has been increased by more than 20%, the new 25.2-megapixel Live MOS Sensor boasts high-resolution, high-speed signal readout and wide dynamic range. The new Venus Engine has also been upgraded with advanced image processing technologies to render high resolution images with low noise quality and rich color reproduction, which is a hallmark of LUMIX cameras.

The LUMIX GH6 contains V-Log/V-Gamut for the first time in LUMIX G Micro Four Thirds cameras and provides 12+ stops, and even 13+ stops, of wide dynamic range using Dynamic Range Boost mode. 43

The new LUMIX GH6 has again evolved to produce 4:2:2 10-bit C4K 60p unlimited video recording time, 4:2:0 10-bit 4K120p, 4:2:2 10bit FHD 240p HFR (High Frame Rate) and FHD maximum 300fps VFR (Variable Frame Rate) to reproduce dynamic motion of the subject. In addition to 4:2:0 10-bit 5.7K 60p, 4:2:0 10-bit 5.8K 30p anamorphic 4:3 video can be recorded utilizing the full area of the sensor. It’s now possible to display de-squeezed anamorphic footage on the monitor in real-time. 5.7K 30p video recording is available in Apple ProRes 422 HQ for the first time in LUMIX cameras, which enables non-linear editing without transcoding. Extended recording time is made possible with LUMIX’s heat management technology.

Boasting 7.5 stops of powerful image stabilization with its Dual I.S.2 43rumors for agile handheld shooting, the LUMIX GH6 has adopted a new super high-precision 5-axis gyro sensor with a new algorithm to achieve 7.5 stops of Body I.S. and Dual I.S.2*5. It also offers a wide variety of recording formats, resolutions and framerates to choose from – depending on the purpose.

Features:

• 25.2-megapixel Live MOS Sensor without LPF (Low-pass Filter)
• 5.7K 60p Video, 10-Bit Sampling
• UHD 4K 120p with 10-Bit HFR
• Venus Engine high-speed processor
• V-Log/V-Gamut
• Photo Sensitivity: ISO 50(extended)-25600
• Video Sensitivity: ISO 50(extended)-12800
• Memory Type: CFexpress Type B card
• 3.0-inch free-angle touch-control monitor

"If Panasonic had implemented phase detect AF we would not have been talking about Olympus."

That's the sadest fact ever.

@EspenB I already feared that. Thanks for the info.

@tommyboy @aked - might be totally bogus.

There are pictures form both nordic/european climate as well as tropical climates - which this unkown influencer had the pleasure of travel to with both GH6 and OM-1. I have not seen any combined Panasonic and Olympus ambassadors. So might be from a more serious photographic magazine of course, but something smell fishy. I don't buy that.

Why can’t I copy a youtube link in here?

@LongJohnSilver

Spot on my friend.

@LongJohnSilver "So boring guys!"

No offense, but if you are so bored, why take the time to read and respond to our discussions?

@ghkqn

Exactly my thoughts!

I think I like the OM-1 better as a hybrid camera. GH6, Gh5 II high ISO seem about the same.
