Panasonic Lumix GF6 Review

 

The Panasonic Lumix GF6 is a new small, stylish and cutting-edge compact system camera. The GF6 features a Four Thirds-sized 16 megapixel Live MOS image sensor, Venus Engine processor (the same as that of the range-topping GH3), Light Speed AF system,...

The new Panasonic Lumix GF6 is an excellent compact system camera that offers more features and performs much better than its entry-level price-tag might first suggest. Now additionally offering built in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, a clever 180 degree...

Panasonic Lumix GF6

 

The Panasonic Lumix GF6 is a compact mirror-less system camera based on the Micro Four Thirds standard. Announced in April 2013, it comes exactly one year after the GF5 and replaces that model. Existing GX1 owners who are finding the newer GX7 is a...

3 inch 1040k flip-over touch-screen ; Self shot mode ; Quick and easy Wifi sharing with NFC ; Excellent low-light AF performance ; Stop motion intervalometer ; Panorama Shot mode

Lacks hotshoe and accessory EVF ; Lacks focus peaking ; Movie button hard to activate

Given the current obsession with retro styling and rangefinder chic, it would be easy to pass over a camera like the Panasonic Lumix GF6 in favour of something superficially more classy. But while it may not look as sexy and desirable as models like...

Panasonic Lumix GF6

 

The GF series goes back to its roots.

At this stage in the compact system camera game, Panasonic knows where it stands. The GF series has taken a long and winding road (with a few bumps along the way), but the GF6 is a camera with plenty of features and controls that let you use them the...

Panasonic Lumix GF6

 

Is the GF6 the perfect upgrade from a compact?

Good image quality and noise control ; Vari-angle LCD screen is useful ; Advanced and flexible control set-up

Buttons on touchscreen too small ; So-so battery life ; Over sharp JPEGs

The GF6 also offers full 1,920 x 1,080 HD video capture complete with stereo audio and full-time auto-focus (AF) in either AVCHD or MP4 formats. An advanced manual shooting mode is also on offer during video capture, offering control over shooting...

Panasonic Lumix GF6 review

 

Beginner-friendly compact system camera gets an overhaul

Excellent screen ; Digital filters ; Built in Wi-Fi

Tricky to use Wi-Fi ; Can't use filters in PASM ; Bulkier than predecessor

Panasonic is known for quickly refreshing its cameras lineup, especially those at the budget end of the range. The GF series, which is the company's beginner option, was last upgraded roughly 12 months ago, so it's no surprise to see the replacement...

The Panasonic GF6 compact system camera and packs Wi-Fi for easy uploading

Affordable ; Tilitng hi-res screen ; Improved resolution

Small and plasticy ; Not so good in low light ; No eye viewfinder

Panasonic Lumix GF6 review

 

The Panasonic Lumix GF6 is far from just a subtle upgrade to the series. Even though there's still no hotshoe or viewfinder - something we doubt will ever make it to the GF-series - it's otherwise just about the most feature-packed entry-level compact...

Super-fast autofocus, great image quality, fully featured movie mode, new mode dial speeds up use, non-power-zoom kit lens keeps price down, responsive tilt-angle touchscreen

Battery life not good enough, slightly larger than GF5 predecessor, no hotshoe, Wi-Fi not compatible with enough services, screen reflections, exposure compensation can get accidentally locked into play

What the GF6 gets right, it gets so brilliantly right that it makes us very happy indeed. The 16-megapixel sensor produces image quality that's closing the gap between Micro Four Thirds and the larger-sensor competition, while the super-fast autofocus,...

Panasonic Lumix GF6 review

 

Is superb image quality enough to make up for a string of shortcomings in the GF6's user interface? We spent a week with Panasonic's compact lens-swapper to find out.

Excellent image quality ; Wide range of lenses ; Articulated LCD ; Fast auto-focus

Muddled user interface ; Flaky macro performance with kit lens

Great stills and fast to focus, but not the easiest camera to use

Panasonic Lumix GF6

 

The Panasonic Lumix GF6 hopes to hand creative control to entry level photographers – can its features fight off the competition?

The GF6 is more ‘revolution’ than ‘evolution’ when looking at its predecessor, the GF5. Both the sensor and processor have been replaced with improved versions and it delivers increased image quality, resolution and overall performance across the...
