Panasonic GH6 Camera Review - All The Cinematic Specs For Less Money?

[@mattih]

Who else filmed weddings on the GH4???? Nostalgia is great 😊

[@BwoyPedro]

ME

[@JCDogpain]

Liked it buddy.. i like this review with the kids and ohhh your driving testla. I drove tesla at work at first makes me feel weird that if you release the acceleration it instantly create a break.

[@JCDogpain]

Mine was worst.. Lumix DMC 100.. but kinda enjoy using my canon m3 with a high def wide angle lens. Love it for vlogging. Very stable. But for my lumix i need to use a gimbal for that. Unfortunately my AK2000s is not compatible with my M3. Sucks when that happens

[@JCDogpain]

That frame does it comes with the lens in that 2900 price?

[@ErikKerber]

I filmed, and currently film weddings on both a GH4 and 2 GH5's. I'll usually setup a GH4 and a GH5 as stationary cameras in the back, if they want the whole ceremony recorded, and that leaves me with the other GH5 to do all the run and gun highlight stuff.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Been waiting on this release for a while now... looks like we'll be upgrading our GH5 to the GH6; especially since we shoot in full manual. That stabilization is still king!

[@virgilethevoz]

Stabilisation is more like valet 😅 still far behind Olympus…

[@RICH_Photography]

I love how KZbinrs don't give the GH6 that much credit..."the IBIS is nice, not perfect" GH6: Best IBIS on the market.

[@laurorosas27]

I agree

[@mujosews]

i think olympus is a bit better, but this is still really good!

[@ctownmedia]

💯

[@bespokecustomstudio1565]

You know it’s a good camera IBIS when you kids can do handheld. Absolute highlight of the video. Loving the dad perspective especially being a dad myself. Great work.

[@EmberSkyMedia]

Yeah that was impressive given how much kids are so unstable.

[@BrandonSoum]

Always love the wholesome bits with Dad Matti, the two are growing up so fast! Haha

[@mattih]

It’s wild how big they are already 😭

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Feels so nostalgic seeing this camera, I loved the GH5!

[@Ryan_Mikael]

I remember owning the GH4 and it was amazing!! Just after looking at this review... I think it is safe to say panasonic have created another beast !!

[@whiterock1865]

Yes definitely a video beast and pretty decent for photography. Though on BH I saw its photo bit depth is 10-bit? Or is it 12-bit for raw? I know the gh5s does 14-bit raw 10 MP.

[@chcomes]

I think it handled AF in real vlog style (moving around like crazy) really well, impressed. I think this is the absolute option for anamorphic with open gate 5.8k 50p and also multiaspectratio content creators. The moment you use an nd filter, you can work on base ISO so noise will be well controlled. I am really surprised by it!

[@jkingwhistler]

I have to say that from the viewer's perspective this GH6 footage is the most enjoyable to watch out of any of the cameras you have used in a long time. Awesome skin tones.

[@peternavanac9310]

Nice, balanced review. Not OBSESSED WITH THE AUTOFOCUS...and actually considered the camera as a whole. Refreshing.

[@forgmail5855]

The funny thing is, I discovered your channel way back because of the GH5. I remembered that a ton of people disliked and hated your review on that because of the wrong information you have leading to a bad review and I was one of those people. lol But after that I was actually intrigued by your other videos and I started watching you since then. I was here when you called your channel travel feels back then! Cheers matti!

[@Christo_glenn]

I think it looks really solid. Too bad Panasonic hasn't learnt their lesson and bring their AF performance up to or near the level of the competition. With that said, damn, this is a beast!

[@mattih]

There’s probably some weird reason for it??? Or maybe they think people still don’t use AF but they definitely do

[@Superz3ro]

@@mattih Lets be honest… The New OM-1 has a Sony sensor with PDAF, 1053 Focus Points, and reviewers still gave that camera crap, saying it was not quite up to Sony camera’s standards… Fuji and Nikon have PDAF, and still everybody has Sony or Canon on the brain. Realistically, given the OM example, Panasonic could not win the AF propaganda war, one way or the other… …

[@ahojahojish]

Yeah, they said that this sensor has been in development since the GH4! Back then PDAF wasnt really a thing and they havent acounted for that, therefore the DFD. But they also said they are researching PDAF for future cameras, so their future cameras will most probably sport a good PDAF.

[@Whatsup_Abroad]

@@mattih I think it must be some sort of licensing issue or something.

[@xucharles8353]

because the sensor is built by sony, in what way will sony allow it's competitor has equally good AF, but better video performance with a cheaper price?

[@ET_Videos]

WOW the focus looks sooo much better! Time to sell my GH5 and A7C :-). Love me some LUMIX IBIS!

[@RoweFilms]

Great review Matti. Thanks for the balance! 👌🙌

[@MelonAMango]

One thing us full-frame users tend to be biased against micro 4/3 is the depth of field. At low light, while full-frame can shoot with higher ISO, we have to stop down from f1.4 to f2.8 or even f4.0 just to have more in focus while micro 4/3 can shoot at f1.8 or lower, at lower ISO and have an equivalent depth of field as full-frame f4 which means lower ISO. 😁

[@johngwheeler]

This is a really good point. I have a GH5 and a couple of f/1.7 & f/1.8 lenses. That would normally be too wide open for run-and-gun with a full-frame camera because it's too hard to hit focus when on the move. But with the MFT sensor I can get the light of an f/1.7 exposure but an f/3.4 depth of field, resulting in fewer out of focus shots when I don't have the time to constantly check focus. A lot of people seemed obsessed with narrow DoF, but for video, it makes life hard, and sometimes impossible if you're a solo operator and have to do everything.

[@thatsreallyamoon]

That’s not how it works though. Just stop down your FF camera to 4.0, raise the ISO anyways, and you wont get more noise. Because sensor size is capable of letting the lens be 4.0 with high ISO without getting more noise than M4/3. And pls before u think I’m hating; I owned and used many incredible m4/3 lenses with the GX85 and G9. I love the system for other reasons but we need to stop misrepresenting stuff. Noise is always better on FF. Shooting at 1.7 on m4/3 at base iso isn’t always better than shooting at 4.0 on FF at raised ISO.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

@@thatsreallyamoon I own a 5Ds. It's no longer manufactured, though I think it's still available new. I doubt that it's better at high ISO than my GH5s or G9 or GH5 II or GH6. Sensor size isn't as important as pixel density, and these micro four thirds cameras have a similar pixel density as the 5Ds, but much newer technology.

[@mathiassiebert1217]

The full frame guys do as if video is all about shallow depth of field. you can get it also with the gh5, perhaps not that big as with a FF, but its totally enough for me. And, as I said, for me video is much more than this sdof. For ex. picture quality and transportability. And: I don't like when there is too much shallow dof, cause I want to see (at least a little bit) where my interview partner sits or stands. with that big blurry picture I never can see where he is and I don't like that.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

@@mathiassiebert1217 I look at TV for guidance. News, current affairs, interviews. Those are always shot with a decent depth of field. On KZbin, I almost never know the expertise of the "expert."

[@redletterdayspnw]

“I can see all my bones moving.” Might be the best line I’ve ever heard on your channel.

[@pacoreguenga]

I wasn't expecting this video as I always remember when you said you'd never use a Lumix again and caught me off-guard as it was released at the same time as the official Lumix video. Your kids are enormous!!!! And Kyle's voice is even more understandable each day! Enjoy them all you can! My children were babies one day and next day were grown-ips with their own lives and I hardly see them as we all live in different cities. BTW, I just sold my trusty GH4 because I got Covid twice and needed the money. Any chance you have one of those collecting dust?

[@johanlorenzo]

THAT TEST FOOTAGE LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 WOW....

[@mattih]

Thanks dude 🙏🏻 😊

[@kaushikbiswas28]

Love the New Market downtown vibes.... the slow montage captures it beautifully

[@LucaBono.Studio]

In reality the AF with the Lumix cameras has always been decent...but nobody knew about the autofocus confirmation trick lol. Cheers!

[@seifenhasedreizehn4077]

haha it's so funny man. Since you said it I keep seeing people not pressing the confirmation

[@royaltykidstv]

@@seifenhasedreizehn4077 what’s the trick? What does it do?

[@jenn-leehadlock6079]

I had no idea you had used the GH4&5 before! I use the GH5 now for a few years and love it!! It’s not often I see it talked about amongst some of my fave channels (you and a few others) Thanks for talking about the new one! I love how small my GH5 is and how easy it is to sneak in places because people assume it isn’t pro. Lol Comes i’m so handy!

[@richarddavies2902]

Biggest t hing for me seems to be the Type-C power and direct recording, I know it is a little thing but what a difference for quality of life.

[@psysword]

[@BuildMontage]

I use the Panasonic Lumix G9 for my KZbin channel and a Lumix G7 for my b-cam, and I think this might fit the bill for my main camera! Thanks for an awesome review Matti, this will save me heaps of money buying new lenses! HAHA!

[@peterdemuth]

Thanks Matti, amazing timing, I am watching your video as and the Panasonic live stream at the same time 😁

[@mattih]

Haha perfect 🙏🏻

[@merletalk]

Great review! Also, awww your kiddos are the best. So glad you included them. 😻

[@GrantMFletcher]

I'm still on the GH5. Might have to upgrade to this! The fact that they are not great in lowlight is the only thing I don't love but the size is just so convenient. To be honest my wife might need something even smaller though so this'll be a little me-treat. 😎

[@bryan2182]

I am selling my Panasonic GH6 for just $1500.I don’t really need it. You can reach out to me👆👆

[@royaltykidstv]

Would you suggest having an LED on the camera?

[@GrantMFletcher]

@@royaltykidstv as in a light attached? I’d say semi-decent lighting is more important than the camera. I used to shoot on an iPhone. A soft strong light source works wOnders.

[@royaltykidstv]

@@GrantMFletcher i see, how is the background pulsation on the GH5? I saw a video of a guy who uses a GH6 and the pulsation does occur every now and then.

[@Just-Nico]

I have to think, in how many situations will you use a camera doesn't matter the brand in low light? Cause this low light situation for youtube for example you can count them on one hand...

[@najadadavis]

Great ending to the video with the lil ones filming. That was funny. Idk if I caught a whole lot at the end but I can always go back to rewatch. Lol 🤣 it was fun to watch the camera move. Hahahaha

Thank you for your work. Would you recommend the GH6 or EOS R3 for video work? 60-70% vlogging and 30-40% client work (video and a little bit photo). Especially in terms of video quality and stabilizer / ibis (vlogging...) Thank you for your help and feedback.

[@reshamthapamagar0034]

Matti, Great review as always. Thanks for the video. You are my idol.

Definitely has the blue tint cinematic look. Would you pick this over the A7SIII to use on a regular basis?

[@TeazyEdits]

I do not own the A7SIII, but I have worked with Footage from it and I gotta say if you need AF you cant come around the a7siii. For me fullframe is a must have and AF aswell i am currently owning an a7sii and want to uograde to an a7siii when i have the money. I would never consider a GHX camera because I need that autofocus and a good lowlight performance. It really depends on your personal preferences.
