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
Chunkier than most competitors who haven’t opted for the DSLR apeing desig
The G6 is the entry into the serious micro four thirds category of camera. It seems to be made down to a price but there is no stinting on the essential camera controls. It is a little too close to a conventional DSLR in body volume, if not in mass. The p...
Abstract: Panasonic has managed to take an already good shooter, the Lumix G5, and make it even better with the release of the G6.Tech Guide readers might remember I enjoyed shooting with the G5 around Terrigal late in 2012 and that I was suitably impressed.The G6 ...
Viewfinder, Fully articulating screen, Extensive touchscreen controls, Can shoot raw files with filters
Old 16MP sensor, Can't use Creative Control options in advanced exposure modes
The Panasonic G6 feels like the most complete and well-rounded enthusiast-level Panasonic compact system camera to date. It may lack a few of the features and the rugged build of the Panasonic GH3, but it's also significantly smaller, making it a more at...
Abstract: Compact Cameras Compact cameras need not always mean point-and-shoot ones. In the last couple of years, a new category of micro four third mirrorless cameras have become really popular. This category caters to those who wants to have a compact camera in h...
Image Stabilization, Flip Out Touchscreen, High Maximum ISO, External Mic Jack, Electronic Viewfinder
Noise at high ISO (above 600), Marginally Smaller Sensor
Panasonic Lumix G6 is a very DSLR like mirrorless camera with a lot of features and shooting delights. With optical image stabilization thrown in along with a Mic Jack and wireless connectivity not only takes it miles away from its predecessor, but also c...
Solid build, Extensive lens lineup makes the micro four thirds system a good choice, Good audio recording with on-board microphones, Very fast and accurate AF system
Bridge form-factor goes against the compact nature of mirrorless cameras, which might deter some users, Low light performance slightly disappointing
The Panasonic Lumix G6 is yet to hit the Indian market and when it does, we recommend you consider buying it. It rubs shoulders with the other mirrorless cameras in the market such as the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Sony NEX-6, and while it may not necessar...
Abstract: Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G6 sits just behind the flagship GH3 in the company's collection of Micro Four Third mirrorless system cameras.Despite its DSLR-like styling, it is quite light.It looks like a DSLR because the built-in Oled electronic viewfinder, or ...
Réactivité irréprochable, Écran tactile orientable au potentiel pleinement exploité, Viseur OLED plus confortable, Enregistrement vidéo paramétrable (ISO, exposition, ouverture, zone de mise au point), Prise micro
Autonomie décevante (200 vues à peine), Qualité d'image en stagnation, Régression de la qualité vidéo (et disparition du mode 1080p à 60i/s), Encore trop de lissage dans les images
Grâce à un écran mieux défini, un viseur OLED et une réactivité en hausse, le G6 améliore surtout l'agrément d'utilisation par rapport au G5. Sinon, c'est le même : un "mini-reflex" agréable à utiliser et globalement efficace (malgré une autonomie minimal...

A 709 € avec son optique kit de base (tarif web), le Panasonic G6 représente un excellent rapport qualité prix. Son capteur est plutôt bon en photo, excellent en vidéo, l'autofocus est réactif et l'ergonomie est vraiment bien pensée avec un bon viseur éle...
