Question: How does the Lumix G6 compare to the previous model the G5?
Document: On the surface, the Panasonic Lumix G6 looks like a modest upgrade to it's predecessor, the Panasonic Lumix G5. After all, it came out less than a year from the G5's release, but there are some serious upgrades that set this camera apart from the previous model.I picked up a Lumix G5 in December of 2012 and have shot extensively with it for a year. It's a terrific camera in it's own right and I was extremely happy with it's performance. So is the G6 a worthy upgrade?
I also notice that when a new kid shows up (like a Lumix G series camera) the others take notice. This happened once while I was in the famed Opryland Hotel. Two Canon Rebel owners walked over to a Lumix G5 (previous edition) owner and inspected her camera. I was in earshot of the conversation and the Rebel owners spent quite a bit of time looking at her camera.
Well, after testing a Lumix G5 at B&H; in NYC, I stumbled upon the G6, but thought it a bit too expensive. Oh well, I thought.Anyway, one day recently, Amazon was having a sale on the G6 with the kit 14-42mm II and I had a bunch of credit card points to use so I got a ridiculous deal that I couldn't pass up.
The new 14-42mm kit lens, although much smaller than the previous 14-42mm lens, is a great improvement. It's performs much better optically, and has a better build quality.Battery life is decent (same battery as the G5).
I upgraded from the budget model G10 to the G6 and couldn't be happier! I researched extensively and waited for the price to drop to what I felt comfortable with and took the plunge. I had several existing lenses and use the camera largely for family snaps with a few portraits thrown in.
I didn't hear much of that conversation, but I did see his mouth replicate what could be considered a &#34;WOW&#34;... multiple times.So when it came time to search for a DSLR or mirrorless system for my beautiful wife, I recalled the Lumix G5 experience.
Have moved from the G3 to the G5 and now the G6. Clearly there are improvements. This camera is fun to use and produces good, clear images.
YES!Like the G5 before it, the Lumic G6 is easy to use. It's intuitive and is loaded up with a ton of great features that will appeal to beginners and pros alike.
The G6 also performs better in low light and has greatly superior video capabilities when compared to it's predecessor.I consider the G5 as basically a &#34;point and shoot&#34; video camera - You'll get great video files from it, but you're limited as to your choices.
I have to say the G5 is a great camera and the G6 improves on it. Which one is the best to buy, depends on if the extra features on the G6 is worth an additional $400 to you. The viewfinder on the G6 is brighter and faster than the G5, but the G5's finder is still very good. The touch screen is more responsive on the G6.
Answer: This will help you Frank: http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_G6/verdict.shtmlGo for the G6. It's a great camera.
