Techrada erroneusly posted and quickly removed the GF6 preview. But Google was too quick for them and chached the full preview. The camera style suggets that it has been now placed right in between the current GF and GX series. And it may means that it will rpelace both the GF5 and GX1.
Both the new GF6 and G6 will be announced on April 9th! And don’t forget that Sony has a live show on Sunday April 7th. But sadly, no new NEX camera is going to be announced 🙁

I did not see any [provision to mount an eye-level viewfinder. That is a major failing because not everyone wants to be restricted to holding the camera out in front of their body in the guarantee-to-vibrate position. Poor decision on Panasonic’s part because users who do not need a finder do not have to buy one, but it should be available for those who do.

Very close to Oly’s E-PL5. Same compact size, Tiltable screen, PASM dial. You gain a flash but you loose the IBIS and the hotshoe. The GX1 16MP sensor is inferior to Oly’s 16MP.
The GF6 will have to be much cheaper that the E-PL5 to be interesting.
No EVF…will choose the G6 without any doubt if specs are good !!
don’t understand why Pana & Oly put on the market so many cameras without EVF…
This makes me quite reluctant to move from DSLR to MFT so far (pro & semi pro MFT cameras are much too expensive…)
