Title should spell G^, not G&. G& is G7, and for a moment I thought it’s already available.
PS. still overpriced.
G6 yeah
On a Danish Keyboard the & is above the 6 – but yeah, that’s why CAPS LOCK is better than SHIFT sometimes. Or even better, set the CSS for the H3 class to UPPERCLASS 🙂
It’s a really decent camera, but the G7 is sorely missing at this point in time. G6 has a G2 sensor, no focus peaking, missing several other newer technologies and features.
the G3 sensor was a new sensor, so no, G6 doesn’t have the G2 sensor.
Or did you mean it has the GH2 sensor? As I’ve heard it suggested it does.
This was arguably the best m43 sensor until the OMDs/GH4 came around.
I do agree that a G7 is missing, but who knows – perhaps it wasn’t doing well enough in the market? I doubt they would put the line on hold if it’s sales performance was real good.
you’re right I meant GH2. This is also just what many rumors are saying. Dunno if anyone has actually taken the G6 apart and looked at the sensor chip, but many say it’s the GH2 sensor. Which was really amazing for it’s time. But… even the tiny GM1 has a better sensor, based og ISO noise and DR.
I’m no marketing expert, but I think they introduced the G6 too early and it didn’t really add anything new compared to the G5. It was an unwanted camera.
The sensor is based on the GH2 sensor, it’s not the same.
Remember the GH2 sensor is an 18MP multi-aspect ratio sensor, with maximum 16MP output @ 4:3. zI have the complete breakdown of file size by aspect ratio but am feeling too lazy to hunt for it.
It a real shame that Panasonic abandoned the multi-aspect ratio sensor! It’s such a great feature!
The G series is well beaten by OMD , that is the fate .
G7 is possible if Pana willing to redesign the whole camera & put latest sensor tech to it but is unlikely IMO .
Only reason I’d never get an OMD is the lack of a swivel-screen. I’ll never go back to a tilt-only camera.
The G6 HAS focus peaking. And it has MOST if the features newer M43 bodies have.
Why don’t you do some research next time before you open your mouth.
You know what? you’re right it has focus peaking. My bad. I was thinking of he G5. The reason I didn’t “research” was that I was thinking of the G5, but I can’t remember every little detail, most people actually aren’t perfect.
The H6 is a very decent camera. But come back when I can pick it up for $399 or less.
You can find it on ebay for $400. My brother bought one on ebay for $410 shipped with 2 spare batteries and the kit lens.
Agree, Panasonic G6 is a great little camera, it captures decent pictures and the video quality is great, much better than any Canon DSLR (except maybe 1Dc, 5Dmrk 3 in raw and 1Dx).
I am very disappointed at how slowly (i.e. not at all in recent months) the G6 is dropping in price :-/ I guess it is linked to the lack of a G7 coming out at all.
It was available for $499 during some of the Black Friday sales a year ago, so yes it’s surprising the price has stayed as high as it has.
Exactly, when I first saw it at the price I felt pretty sure I’d be buying one as an upgrade to my old GH1 within the coming year once it had dropped a little more. Nope, the price never went down. Instead this Black Friday I purchased the better (for my purposes, of filming) Sony A5100. Sorry Panasonic :-/
With GH4 and GM1 selling way more than G6/GF6 and with far higher margins I can see why the original G/GF is on hold, unless Panasonic can reinvent the line again somehow, but I think the LX100/FZ1000 just kill it to oblivion
