#Micro snitch review update#

Now, let me run you through what’s new and what captured my attentionįirstly, the LUMIX GH6 has a completely new Venus engine (processor) and a 25 million pixels Micro Four Thirds image sensor. Nice! (Continuous AF in high frame rates is depending on the lens) Panasonic GH6 with ProRes inside. If your production requires a 4K resolution, the highest you can dial and record is 120fps. By the way, both are 10bit and in HD resolution. 240fps is absolutely clean and usable while 300fps can be very clean depending on how complex the recording scene is. One good example is slow-motion – I guess we all got kind of tired seeing unusable high frame rate specification which serves no one but the manufacturer’s marketing team. When using it I had the feeling of complete freedom and ease of use, meaning, there are hardly any “marketing settings” which are mostly good on paper but function poorly in the field. In my opinion, this is the best mirrorless camera Panasonic has created so far. (Lowlight filming is OK, but I would not go higher than ISO3200) This camera can serve small teams of news gatherings, just as much as creators without any major hiccups. The LUMIX GH6 shows strength when it comes to autofocus performance, image stabilization, video quality, and overall picture aesthetics. But at the end of the day, this is a camera review and not a masterpiece for the National Geographics, and as such, I can now come back to you with a definite conclusion. Image credit: CineDĪs our decision to go out was spontaneous, I have to confess, I was not well equipped for the task, as I didn’t even have a proper zoom lens with me.

But after spending the day in the field with Helmut I can understand why this hobby is so relaxing to him. First off, I will be honest with you guys, bird watching is completely new to me and it never really caught my attention.

Winter is slowly fading away in Austria and although it was an extremely windy day I teamed up with Helmut, who is a general manager by trade but a birdwatcher by heart to help me find out just how well Panasonic did with the new LUMIX GH6.

The new Panasonic LUMIX GH6 is finally here! And I had the chance to put it through its paces and hopefully answer some questions, like how does the new camera perform in the field? Did Panasonic finally manage to create a reliable autofocus system for video? Does the Micro Four Thirds even have a place in today’s mirrorless camera market? Let’s see what I can answer in this Panasonic LUMIX GH6 review!
