Verdict

The Panasonic Lumix GH6 is a video-centric Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera featuring a 25.2MP Live MOS sensor without an optical low-pass filter and an active cooling fan for unlimited recording times. It supports advanced internal recording up to 5.7K 60p, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, 4K 120p in 10-bit, and Full HD up to 300fps, alongside a Dynamic Range Boost mode that offers over 13 stops of latitude. Key pros include its exceptional 7.5-stop 5-axis in-body image stabilization, uncropped 4K 120p video, and professional assist tools like waveforms and internal LUT support. However, its main drawbacks are the reliance on a contrast-based DFD autofocus system that can hunt during video, significantly reduced battery life compared to its predecessor, and a relatively bulky, heavy body for the Micro Four Thirds format.
