The editors didn't like
Too expensive
It's bulky
Chunkier than most competitors who haven’t opted for the DSLR ape-ing design
Feels slightly over-priced on launch
Disappointing battery life (barely 200 photos)
Image quality hasn't really progressed
Video quality has dropped a little (and the 1080p 60 fps mode has gone)
Smoothing is still a bit too heavy
Continuous autofocus still not quite there
No image quality improvement compared to predecessor
Chunkier build/size won't suit all
No ISO 100 sensitivity
Old 16MP sensor
Can't use Creative Control options in advanced exposure modes
There's so many different menus to access that it's not always easy to find the settings that you're looking for

This camera is a lot of fun. It's got all the serious enthusiast-level settings to play with but wrapped up into a machine that anyone can pick up and enjoy. Buy it....

We'd argue that the Lumix G6 is not only a step closer in closing the gap between DSLR and CSC cameras' capabilities, but that - in some respects - it's a step beyond. When it comes to value for money and feature set the G6 is more packed with featu...

Although nothing revolutionary, the G6 fits the bill for anyone wanting compact camera convenience but DSLR-style design
In some areas, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 is a big step forward, such as the new viewfinder, touchscreen and Wi-Fi support, especially for remote shooting with a smartphone or tablet. However, its basic picture-taking capabilities are similar to its older...
This camera represents an evolutionary dead-end. Even though Panasonic's done a fine job making the G6 a great update of a camera we already thought was pretty decent, the tired 16-megapixel sensor at its heart just isn't all that great any more. Compared...
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
The Panasonic Lumix G6 is a feature-packed camera that more than keeps up with the competition. When you consider that it's priced against impressive DSLR rivals such as the Canon EOS 100D and Nikon D5200, that's no small achievement.The addition of Wi-Fi...
