Pixel Peepers fanatics can now download some RAW image samples at Quesabesde (Click here). More JPG image samples have been also posted at FourThirds-User. Meantime GF6 preorder quantities aren’t really overwhelming. The camera ranks 21st at Amazon mirrorless camera ranking (Click here, note changing hourly!).
GF6 Preorders are now up at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and now at Adorama (Click here) too.
Curiosity: Too bad the Blackmagic Pocket camera ins’t sold by Amazon -> you can preorder it at Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here) -< It would have been nice to see if preorders of the Blackmagic are higher than the GF6 🙂

Well, the GF6 isn’t the sort of thing you would pre-order and wait breathlessly for, is it? More like the sort of camera to buy casually when you have spare time at an airport. Or maybe that’s just the way I see it.
Sigh…. Another bargain bin junk from Panny. Neither revolutionary nor evolutionary. Pay a premium price for a 2-year old tech. I guess the silver lining is worth the price, huh?
Yeah, $350 by year’s end. ANOTHER FAIL Panny!
Just FYI: it’s presumable the camera with the fastest and most reliable AF any mirrorless ever had.
Yes if we look on spec to GF6, so have camera 20 fram on second, exposure 60-16000 sec, this is spec so i think is fancy.
I mean exposure 60-1/16000 sec. LOL
if you dont think 4 more mp,much lower noise, wifi, nfc, 4 fn buttons, wireless flash and a better kit lens is evolutionary then I question that you know what evolution means
The ISO 6400 photo on Quesabesde (people sitting in a café with a MacBook on the table) looks disappointing when viewed at 100%. Hopefully the next MFT camera from Panasonic – whatever it is – utilizes a newer sensor.
heres a thought: dont view it 100%
The full-size samples are not really good. It seems that using the GX1 sensor was a mistake, especially when its direct competitor (E-PL5) sports a much better one.
*SIGH*
Dear Panasonic,
The sky is not purple, it is blue! Please make your cameras have nice jpeg colours so that lazzy people, such as myself, who can not be bothered with RAW will consider once again to buy your cameras.
Yours,
Mr Fedup
yeah,and you look back GH3 on pre-consumer firmware had Very BAD AWB(White Balance)
but today it a great hybrid cam (good still compete to OM-D and excel video) (^_^)
what is your app to open this raw file,
let use irfan view last version with plug-in,it render very good nice color and more sharpen .
Admin: It’s nice to see that you’ve added the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema to the family database. I really like m43’s multi-manufacturer world; often that can mean chaos, like it happened to the PC world, or lower quality, like it happened with T-mount, but each member seems to be contributing something high quality, unique, and complimentary.
Agree 😉
I agree too. And which manufacturer is going to make an affordable UWA lens for it, I wonder.
Blackmagic did an amazing job!
Am I the only one, who thinks it a bit silly to preorder a device, which has not been tested and properly reviewed yet?
Especially as there are a lot of m43 cameras around and you really need to dig deeper to choose the most suitable for your needs.
Hey, this is not an iPhone! 🙂
It’s just clever, I will never ever preorder anything. All companys have problems with new products sometimes. I Iave a nice E-M5, but if I would know about the shutter shock problem and that I always have to activate 1/8 seconds anti shock I don’t know if I would buy it again.
I have taken 5000+ photos with the OMD and have no idea what you are talking about.
Can you explain? (Never had problems so far, and I use it almost every day since a year)
You really have to always use the anti-shock function?
There is one specific situation in which I do seem to encounter a ‘shutter shock’ related problem. When mounted on my telescope, both my E-M5s always need the anti-shock function enabled, unlike either my E-P1 or G2, which will typically be fine without it.
In everyday photography I’ve yet to encounter this kind of issue.
Admin: Pre-Orders for the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera will walk all over another luke warm offering from Panasonic like the GF6. The “Magic” that Panasonic created with the GH2 is over. I hope their product development strategy changes. We’ll see how well their lenses work with the BMPC. It will be interesting to see whether Panasonic or Olympus lenses are better suited to the camera from Black Magic.
I was wondering why Amazon selling for $599 and B&H is $699? Different kit lens?
OK my OMD still by far much better image quality (the priority)
Okay, only pixel peepers will really know the difference. People who buy this camera (GF6) could care less.
It’s really Foolish to put an OMD against the GF6. One camera aimed at pros, the other the point & shoot crowd/social media users.
Trying too hard to justify your purchase/camera much?
you put GF6 vs. E-M5 oh good,
carefully,may GF6 beat E-M5 on ISO6400 ha ha ha(this sample image far from consumer firmware)
because i hate Sludge camera ,little hope ,if it true i will post Ridicule Comment everyday.
how bout we compare it with the gf5?
What Quesabesde does – publishing RAW data from a pre-production camera, whose firmware version 0.2 is far from final – is nonsense, only good for their own interest (catching visits to their page) and not fair, nor to their readers neither to Panasonic.
Now PhotographyBlog posted their samples too.
