Looks very similar to G9

Update! Watched Gerald Undone's video and have some thoughts about the streaking. I too had issues with magenta streaking in some scenes early in my testing. Reported to Panasonic and they issued a firmware update. Once updated, the issue was gone or so I thought. I have not seen it since but other reviewers have reached out and let me know it still exists so I'll have to do some more testing and will update you guys in a live stream. All of that said, I still stand by my review and have pre-ordered my GH6 (not sponsored!!!). LOVE that camera and it's sensor/image!

Great to see you here, mr intheblues!

Thank you so much Caleb. I woke up to the Gh6 celebration day today and this was the first official review that I saw. I am definitely going to remember this one for long. What a magnificent camera. Soon my GH5 will move to the dedicated Gimbal setup and the GH6 will take the throne of the main Rig. Cheers everyone!

This is the best review I've seen yet. Thanks Caleb. Very balanced and objective.

Caleb, as usual you deliver prompt and very thorough reviews. This is really helpful for me, a GH5 user for a few yrs now.

The GH6 looks fantastic, and I plan on picking one up! I really wish folks wouldn't judge so hard solely on AutoFocus. If you're shooting on a high end camera like a RED, no DP or cinematographer is concerned about autofocus. That being said, the GH5 AF was just fine. It was no Sony but it worked great. It was just trashed by some KZreadrs (die-hard Sony fans) who failed to read their camera manuals, and put it through absurd tests.

The thing with shitty panasonic focus is that talking-head shots when you're on your own become a nightmare. I've got a g7 and g9, they're amazing workhorses and work perfectly with an operator behind the camera, but the autofocus issues were enough of an issue for me to buy a canon 90d with the godly sigma 18-35 lens. The sacrifice of IBIS for autofocus that works is probably worth it to 99% of youtubers and streamers.

@BrSo-no3vz

High end cinematographers don't use hybrid cameras. Consumers do. Which means that one camera might have to be good enough for many different uses. You might go shoot a wedding, then do an Instagram video for a client, then do a talking-head video, then shoot some family videos and your kids running around. Unless you have a lot of money, you won't buy a separate camera for each of those things, you might buy one and expect it to work in every situation. And why wouldn't you expect that? There are cameras on the market that can do well in all those situations, so you compare it to those. You don't compare it to Roger Deakins, because once he's done at work, he won't bring the RED home to shoot his kids running around.

I personally never use autofocus, no matter what camera, when filming anything talking head or interviews or stuff like that... and since it's a micro four thirds, I don't get nearly as much shallow depth of field anyway but it is a good thing for focus... even without moving the manual focus at all, the subject is basically always perfectly in focus :)@@Sam-vi2ho

Great video, emphasizing as always the different points you'll want to consider. This thing looks like at least a triple if not a home run. Image quality, dynamic range, assist features, stabilization, audio options, and given that after all these years Lumix is like my mom's cooking, it's just what I prefer, looks like I'll be picking one up. I'd sure like to see it compared to the BMPCC 4K, since that was an "upgrade path" I was considering. All I know is I looked at the colors and said wow. My clients don't ask about RAW and so forth. They just want it to look great, and this does. Might be the big brother my GH5 wants. Thanks, Caleb. This is big news.

Best GH6 introduction video I have seen so far; thanks for all the info!

Outstanding review as usual, Caleb. Monstrous thanks. 💛🙏🏼

Love the videos, but if you could always keep the GH6 on the right side of the screen (or left - one or the other) when doing comparisons it would really help. When you switch between them it get's confusing. This is especially apparent at 8:36 switching from color comparison to ISO comparison.

A thorough review from the O.G of the Panasonic GH line. 👍🏾

This camera is amazing!!!

Hi there. Thanks for your fantastic review of the GH6. I currently use the GH5s and love it but love the specs on the GH6. The colour has improved greatly and the dynamic range. I prefer the low light performance on my GH5s but do like the high resolutions this beast captures. 4K 120fps at 10 bit is impressive. The recording facility has greatly improved also. I am going to wait before I purchase this camera like I did when the GH5 was released. I waited for just over a year and was about to purchase a GH5 and they released to GH5s which blew me away with it's improved colour, low light performance and that lock down multi aspect ration sensor which I wanted.

Thanks for this super detailed review! Very tempting camera, isn’t it?

Amazing! I would love to see what they do with the G7 and G9 line with the updated technology!

Exciting stuff.

Thank you!

The footage of this camera is glorious.

VERY generous review of the AutoFocus....

I REALLY WANT THIS CAMERA

Would love to see a comparison between the GH6 and the S5 since they're close in price range. I wonder if the full frame sensor would be enough to keep me with the S5. Obviously the 5k is a big factor as well.

I pre-ordered the GH6. A Huge, Huge upgrade from my GH3!

Love it.

Happy to see other Brands coming with pretty good Cameras again. The specs looking REALLY good! Hope we see more of it!

Man this is the Wow camera for MFT videographers 😍

Would love to see an Olympus OM1 vs GH6 comparison!

I have ordered a GH6 and hopefully will get it in a day or two. I have used a GH5 since it came out and really liked what I could do with it and with the specs of the GH6 looking a lot better, I had to get one. I don't use autofocus much at all so not having perfect autofocus wasn't a deal breaker for me but it does look much improved. I didn't know about the color difference but the skin tones do look a lot better. I remember saying that after upgrading from a GH4 to a GH5 as the GH5 made my skin tone veer slightly orange/yellow.

I giggled when you said that there's a filter menu to narrow down the video options 😅😅 Just the fact that it exists is crazy.

Your camera reviews are just so superior to everyone else. I'm so thankful for you.

Before we switched to Sony at first we had a7iii and a6400 we mostly used the a6400 because the laserlike focus . Now we pretty much only use the a7siii and it Is a film makers dream . Maybe you think the af is as good because only used it twice . And the mft system Is not Bad when you can Manual Focus but If not it Is really not good

Thier DFD is probably the best contrast AF on the market, if they would only make it hybrid with some phase detection. It would be as good or better than the competitors. Not sure why they stay with DFD only. Great video and presentation of the camera.

@CallMeRabbitzUSVI

2 жыл бұрын

They stay with DFD because when you implement Phase detection into the sensor, it actually affects photo quality since it adds lines into the sensor which they will have to compensate for. This is something Panasonic wants to avoid to give you the crispiest shots but if you ask me it's very negligable and they should stop being weird since every other manufacturer has overcome this issue EDIT: Spelling and Grammar

This camera is an impressive statement of Panasonic's technical capabilities. I am curious to see all that tech finding its way into a moderately priced full-frame camera of Panasonic. That would be a real winner. Although being a full-frame shooter I am impressed what OM Systems (Olympus) and Panasonic have done recently with the 4/3 format. Very good news for those people who are invested in 4/3 lenses!
