Panasonic Lumix G6

 

Is Panasonic still the king of compact system cameras?

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

As well as offering full manual stills capture control, the G6 also features 19 filters, all accessible through the 'Creative Control' mode. Two new settings also debut - a Creative Panorama function and Clear Retouch mode, both of which offer simple...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 review: compact system camera that's smaller than the DSLR it resembles yet costs more

 

Compact system camera smaller than the DSLR it resembles, yet priced higher

Well saturated colours and warm feel to images, tilt and swivel rear LCD, DSLR-style handling yet compact camera approachability, EVF comes with built-in eye sensor for automatic activation

Chunkier than most competitors who haven’t opted for the DSLR ape-ing design, feels slightly over-priced on launch

Although nothing revolutionary, the G6 fits the bill for anyone wanting compact camera convenience but DSLR-style design.

Panasonic Lumix G6 Review

 

, and features built in Wi-Fi, NFC, OLED EVF, improved video mode, focus peaking, and is Panasonic's latest DSLM. The Panasonic Lumix G6 is available with a body only price of £549.

Wi-Fi built in - remote operation, Great image quality, Panoramic mode, Lens hood provided with kit lens, High resolution tilting touch-screen, Fast operation, focus, shot to shot, Access to a wide range of Micro Four Thirds lenses, Stop motion...

Electronic / rolling shutter effect, Battery life could be better, Would be nice if Wi-Fi supported direct uploads to social media sites, rather than going via Lumix logon
