Panasonic GH6
Although moreOriginally scheduled for late 2021To be slightly delayed, Panasonic’s new generation M4/3 flagship GH6 is finally officially released.It can be roughly regarded asFull width S1H The “shrinked version” of the 25.2MP sensor provides a continuous shooting speed of up to 14fps (AF-S, AF-C is 8fps), but it still uses the more traditional contrast detection focus instead of phase focus .
In the part of film shooting, GH6 provides a very rich choice. With ProRes or ProRes HQ, it can output 5.7K with V-Log up to 30fps; and with MP4 10-bit H.264 / H.265, it can output up to 5.7K / 60fps. You can also shoot in 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 at 60fps, or 4K 10-bit 4:2:0 at 120fps. To support these behemoth bit rates, the GH6 has a built-in CFexpress Type B card slot, the first M4/3 camera to use this specification, plus a UHS-II SD card slot.

Through future firmware updates, Panasonic promises that the GH6 will provide the ability to record video directly to the SSD via USB, as well as HDMI 2.1 out, allowing you to output 4K/120p images directly via HDMI. However, at the moment of shipment, it can only support 4K/60p output (and simultaneous internal recording) for the time being.

In appearance, the GH6 generally continues the characteristics of the GH series, but is significantly thicker. Part of the reason for this is because the GH6 has built-in active cooling fans, allowing it to shoot continuously for unlimited durations under all video formats — including 5.7K/60p and 4K/120p. In addition, the GH6 adds a button for adjusting the recording settings, and a video button on the front, which is convenient for users who take selfie Vlogs. The main screen at the back has a resolution of 1.84 million dots. In addition to being flipped, it can also be tilted up and down to increase the convenience of use (especially when the left port is used). The viewing window is the same 3.68 million-dot OLED as the previous generation, with a magnification of 0.76x, and the battery is also the same model of BLK-22 as the previous generation, probably because of the cooling fan and extra resolution, making it the official battery Lifespan figures have dropped from the GH5 II’s 410 shots to 380 shots.
The GH6 is expected to go on sale in March, priced at US$2,200 (single body).
