Bridge form-factor goes against the compact nature of mirrorless cameras
This camera represents an evolutionary dead-end. Even though Panasonic's done a fine job making the G6 a great update of a camera we already thought was pretty decent, the tired 16-megapixel sensor at its heart just isn't all that great any more. Compared...
Addition of NFC and Wi-fi welcome, Impressive video, Good design and size, Outstanding adjustable touchscreen
Plasticy body in some areas, High ISO performance weaker than DSLR rivals
The Panasonic Lumix G6 is a feature-packed camera that more than keeps up with the competition. When you consider that it's priced against impressive DSLR rivals such as the Canon EOS 100D and Nikon D5200, that's no small achievement.The addition of Wi-Fi...
Viewfinder, Fully articulating screen, Extensive touchscreen controls, Can shoot raw files with filters
Old 16MP sensor, Can't use Creative Control options in advanced exposure modes
The Panasonic G6 feels like the most complete and well-rounded enthusiast-level Panasonic compact system camera to date. It may lack a few of the features and the rugged build of the Panasonic GH3, but it's also significantly smaller, making it a more att...
Abstract: One of the most significant developments in digital photography has been the introduction of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. By removing the mirror and optical viewfinder, manufacturers are able to make their cameras smaller, without compromising...

Although the sensor is clearly an older unit (used originally in the superb DMC-GH2 and then the DMC-G5) and is beginning to look dated against more modern designs used by rivals, there's still a lot to like about the video capabilities and the camera's f...
Quality: above average.Why buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6: looks and works like a DSLR.Why not: a bit complex for the raw amateur.If you get the feeling that this camera attempts to bridge the needs of the enthusiast and the dabbler, you're right. Just ch...
Abstract: Panasonic G6 review: although the Lumix G6 uses the same 16.05MP sensor as the G5, the Panasonic G6 brings a more powerful Venus Engine and an improved touchscreen and electronic viewfinder.Panasonic has used a mini-DSLR style for the Panasonic Lumix G6, ...
OLED viewfinder and 3in articulated touchscreen, Great Wifi features including remote control and NFC, Fast single autofocus which works under very low light, Movies w 1080/60/50/24p, focus peaking and mic input, Time lapse, stop motion, panoramas and 7 frame AEB, Access to the broadest native mirrorless lens catalogue.
Quality similar to last 2 generations. But does it matter?, No built-in GPS. Adding data via app can be fiddly, Can't turn down 'ta-da' sound when NFC is successful, Phase-detect AF systems remain better for continuous AF.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Panasonic Lumix G6 is one of the most satisfying cameras I've used to date. The image quality may be essentially the same as its predecessor, but the feature set, handling and usability have all received ...
