Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 review

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-G6 is the update to last year’s DMC-G5 MFT camera, the firm’s $750 mid-range EVF equipped model sitting above the entry-level finder-less DMC-GF6 yet beneath the mighty video-maker’s favorite DMC-GH3. The new camera features a 16-Mpix Live MOS sensor as well as a new Venus processing engine, but just how well does it perform in our labs?

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 Hands-on Preview

Less than a year after releasing the G5, Panasonic is back with another mid-range G-series Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens camera aimed at the upper entry-level DSLR/ILC market. The G6 sits above the recently-announced GF6 and below the GH3 in Panasonic's lineup and, although most of its key specifications are fairly familiar to anyone that's been watching the G-series for a while, the G6 does bring a couple of interesting new features, as well as some solid specification upgrades.

Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC G6 – A Fun Compact DSLR Alternative

Panasonic, the pioneers of Mirrorless Compact Camera System, often called “The DSLM”, have a successor to their popular G5, the G6, which we are reviewing today. For those not in the know, the Mirrorless cameras do away basically with ‘mirrors’ that you find in a conventional DSLR, thus reducing the weight and size.
