Panasonic’s Lumix GH6 has the highest-resolution Micro Four Thirds sensor ever

The new Micro Four Thirds camera from Panasonic, the Lumix GH6, was delayed. The new numbered entry in the popular GH line was teased almost a year ago alongside the launch of the GH5 Mark II; Panasonic confirmed at the time that it would shoot up to 10-bit 4:2:0 4K at 120 frames per second, 10-bit 4:2 4K at 60 frames

The internals of the camera are new, and it looks similar to its predecessor, but with a 3-inch screen. The new Micro Four Thirds sensor and Venus Engine image processor let you shoot photos at 14 frames per second with a locked focus. It is the highest resolution sensor ever found in a Micro Four Thirds camera.

The new five-axis image stabilization system adds 7.5 stops of compensation, and Panasonic has added a built-in fan to the camera to allow it to record for longer periods. The first Micro Four Thirds camera to include the V-Log format and V- Gamut color space is the GH6.

The body-only version of the GH6 will cost $2,199, which is $500 more than the original version and $200 more than the Mark II, but it's still cheaper than the $2,499 price it was expected to launch at last year. It's a good time to be a high-end user in the Micro Four Thirds system because of the announcement of the OM System OM-1, which is the first new model to come from the sold-off camera business.
