The advance of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras is still a developing tale. The GF6 is a good example of where we’re at, but don’t think for one moment that what the camera offers is indicative of what a MILC camera should offer. The beauty of this style of camera is that it’s small, with access […]

Panasonic Lumix DMC GF6 review: is WiFi and 16-Mpix sensor enough?

Panasonic’s entry-level DMC GF6 sees a return to a more conventional control layout and adds several useful features including a touch-sensitive, tilting monitor and easy wireless connectivity with smart-phones via WiFi with NFC capability. The new camera also features a 16-Mpix sensor, but just how well does it perform in our labs?

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 captures images with excellent quality, but it's not a good option for burst shooting.

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GF6 represents the latest iteration of the company's entry-level compact systems cameras. Similar in size and body styling to the GF5, the GF6 has a lot more to offer to enthusiasts. Its resolution has been increased to 16 megapixels and it features the latest Venus Engine image processor, along with integrated Wi-Fi plus near field communication.

It's taken a couple of generations of camera for manufacturers to really work out who wants to buy mirrorless cameras and, as a result, what features they should offer. Panasonic's GF series has slalomed around the demographics before arriving at a similar conclusion to that reached by several of its rivals - a small camera that can work as a point-and-shoot, but with some expectation that the user might want to take more control over it.

It has to be said. Once you've handled Panasonic’s top shelf Four Thirds models such as the GX7, pretty much everything else on offer seems like small beer.
