Bridge form-factor goes against the compact nature of mirrorless cameras
Abstract: Compact Cameras Compact cameras need not always mean point-and-shoot ones. In the last couple of years, a new category of micro four third mirrorless cameras have become really popular. This category caters to those who wants to have a compact camera in h...

Panasonic Lumix G6 is a very DSLR like mirrorless camera with a lot of features and shooting delights. With optical image stabilization thrown in along with a Mic Jack and wireless connectivity not only takes it miles away from its predecessor, but also c...

Bridge form-factor goes against the compact nature of mirrorless cameras, which might deter some users, Low light performance slightly disappointing
The Panasonic Lumix G6 is yet to hit the Indian market and when it does, we recommend you consider buying it. It rubs shoulders with the other mirrorless cameras in the market such as the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Sony NEX-6, and while it may not necessar...
The improved swivelling touchscreen and viewfinder are excellent, the autofocus is superquick and the creative filters give some real zing to your shots.
There's so many different menus to access that it's not always easy to find the settings that you're looking for
This camera is a lot of fun. It's got all the serious enthusiast-level settings to play with but wrapped up into a machine that anyone can pick up and enjoy. Buy it....
Excellent responsiveness, Swivel touchscreen, touchcontrols used to their full potential, OLED viewfinder is nicer to use, Manually adjustable settings in video mode (ISO, exposure, aperture, focus area), Microphone socket
Disappointing battery life (barely 200 photos), Image quality hasn't really progressed, Video quality has dropped a little (and the 1080p 60 fps mode has gone), Smoothing is still a bit too heavy
Well saturated colours and warm feel to image, tilt and swivel rear LC, DSLRstyle handling yet compact camera approachabilit, EVF comes with builtin eye sensor for automatic activation
Chunkier than most competitors who haven’t opted for the DSLR apeing desig, feels slightly overpriced on launch

Fast autofocus, touchscreen is super-responsive, decent image quality, detailed OLED electronic viewfinder, body-based zoom toggle to control power zoom lenses
Continuous autofocus still not quite there, no image quality improvement compared to predecessor, chunkier build/size won't suit all, no ISO 100 sensitivity
We'd argue that the Lumix G6 is not only a step closer in closing the gap between DSLR and CSC cameras' capabilities, but that - in some respects - it's a step beyond. When it comes to value for money and feature set the G6 is more packed with featu...

Although nothing revolutionary, the G6 fits the bill for anyone wanting compact camera convenience but DSLR-style design
In some areas, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 is a big step forward, such as the new viewfinder, touchscreen and Wi-Fi support, especially for remote shooting with a smartphone or tablet. However, its basic picture-taking capabilities are similar to its older...
