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

Although the sensor is clearly an older unit (used originally in the superb DMC-GH2 and then the DMC-G5) and is beginning to look dated against more modern designs used by rivals, there's still a lot to like about the video capabilities and the camera's f...

Abstract: Panasonic G6 review: although the Lumix G6 uses the same 16.05MP sensor as the G5, the Panasonic G6 brings a more powerful Venus Engine and an improved touchscreen and electronic viewfinder.Panasonic has used a mini-DSLR style for the Panasonic Lumix G6, ...
OLED viewfinder and 3in articulated touchscreen, Great Wifi features including remote control and NFC, Fast single autofocus which works under very low light, Movies w 1080/60/50/24p, focus peaking and mic input, Time lapse, stop motion, panoramas and 7 frame AEB, Access to the broadest native mirrorless lens catalogue.
Quality similar to last 2 generations. But does it matter?, No built-in GPS. Adding data via app can be fiddly, Can't turn down 'ta-da' sound when NFC is successful, Phase-detect AF systems remain better for continuous AF.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Panasonic Lumix G6 is one of the most satisfying cameras I've used to date. The image quality may be essentially the same as its predecessor, but the feature set, handling and usability have all received ...

Priced competitively against rival DSLRs such as either Canon's EOS 100D or 700D, Nikon's D5200 and Sony's Alpha 65, the Panasonic Lumix G6 has a lot going for it.Packed with features, there's not a lot missing from the G6 it this price point, especiall...
It may not offer too many genuine surprises, but the new Panasonic Lumix G6 is a compelling, very well-balanced compact system camera that offers a lot of features and performance at an attractive price. Falling into the mini-DSLR category of mirrorless...
