GH6 REVIEW! What the specs don't tell you...

[@AgentStarke]

My favorite m43 KZbinr is back. That lowlight performance was pretty insane. Can't believe it's improved that much.

[@MicroFourNerds]

Honestly I was surprised too! And it’s pre production so can only get better with firmware updates too I guess 😊

I'm totally impressed by the low light performance! 😊 Actually I'm more into the Olympus/OM System but this really blows me away. Good to see that both companies did a great job in bumping low light performance in higher ISO regions. Seems to be a good year for Micro Four Thirds! Ah and of course your review was great! Love your Danny DeVito focus test! 😂

Haha thank you! Danny has been my desk buddy for the last year or so, it was time for him to be featured properly in a video 🤣 and yes - what a year for m43!

The real test for how the future looks for m43 is what Panasonic and OM do for their other lines. Will we see a GX refresh? G? If not, that's an ominous sign despite the amazing flagship releases.

Just ordered my GH6 last night and then spent the rest of my night shift watching reviews slagging off the auto focus. Thankfully your real world focusing on Seven of Nine made me feel a lot more confident in placing my order. Great little episode and a much more positive review of the only thing we care about, the auto focus.😀

Watched a LOT of your MFT videos (i am also deep into the system) but i didn't know you're also a drummer!? Very impressive!

[@ddsdss256]

Thanks for the review, but a huge negative of the GH6 is the lack of any provision for a battery grip (emphasis on the "grip"--mine rarely leaves my G9). As a stills photographer who rarely does video (and in those rare cases, the G9 has plenty of capability for my needs), often shoots in portrait mode, and uses the Leica 100-400 quite a bit, this is a deal-breaker. They've also dropped some stills-oriented features, plus I don't need the fan (and don't care for the extra bulk it requires) or most of the video features, impressive though they are. I'd also like to see the 5.76 MP EVF (but with the G9's 0.83x mag). If I were a videographer. I'd jump on the GH6, but despite the fact that the G9 is the sixth Lumix camera I've purchased, if a direct replacement for the G9 doesn't materialize in the not-too-distant future, I'll be seriously considering the OM-1. I have two Oly camaras already, but I prefer the Lumix ergo and most of my MFT lenses are Leica or Lumix.

Fabulous review, and so much great info about what you can actually do with the new features, not just what the new features are. Great comparison tests too!

[@PlanetInPixel]

Amazing review. Thanks. 12:08 doesnt it seem like gh6 is applying a lot of NR? I think GH5 would look the same similar NR is applied on the post. The pattern on the rotating dial is almost gone on the GH6. I have a G9 and still on the fence if I should get a GH6 (considering only due to low light and higher bitrate). Possible to share the gh5 and gh6 raw videos from 12:08? Would be very helpful to decide. Thank you.

[@MicroFourNerds]

Yeah I totally get what you mean, the gh6 does a lot of processing internally for noise. On the whole I think it does a great job, but maybe with future updates there will be more user controls in the menus to turn it up, down, or off. At the moment that’s just how the video comes out of the camera. I think with some good noise reduction software you could get about half way there with the gh5, but (in my experience anyway!) noise reduction plugins are so processor heavy they really add onto my editing and rendering time, so I’m glad there’s less work times do with the gh6 files 😊

[@PlanetInPixel]

@@MicroFourNerds Thanks for the reply. Yes I do agree with the time investment needed to do NR in post. Hopefully I will get my hands on gh6 sometime

Really like the new look of your videos and the skin tones have a nice pink look to them. I'm a fan of pink as it has a retro look. I think the pink look came from Hong Kong some company that made film back in the 1970's. There was a filmmaking app that I used on my old iPhone 3GS that gave description of the pink look from Hong Kong. Also the pink look reminds me of the really old Kung Fu movies.

Excellent overview, thanks! 🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦

[@wilsarino]

Thanks for this great review ! Which auto focus mode did you use please ? Is it the best in most situations ? Thanks again 🙂

[@MicroFourNerds]

My favourite setting is “single point auto focus, plus face detect”. This gives you a little box to point the camera in the right direction, but it will automatically track faces if anything comes out of that area as well. Works very well in my experience 😊

So, what is the crop factor on the GH6? One of my beefs with m43 is you basically have to double the focal length for your lens vs. full frame. I have two GH4s and recently got an S5, which I love.

[@MicroFourNerds]

Double, same as the gh4 and 5 😊

[@rickietatum4319]

Yay, nice to see you're back with us. Only one question, was the S5 having a bad day when it came to the auto focus. Pretty poor considering its spec and price.

[@MicroFourNerds]

There has been a comment here suggesting it doesn’t do very well with that specific stock lens, as it was the stock lens I got with the S1, and not the S5… but it’s an official lumix lens with the latest firmware, so I don’t know to be honest! You’d hope you could use any official lens and get the best results I will say, in real world situations, the s5 doesn’t feel that bad at all, I’ve never had any problems with it. So the results of this test surprised me to be honest!

[@missti9012]

Excellent review!!! Thank you!!

[@EmeraldAudiovisual]

Expensive start of the year for me, as I'm a Canon + Panasonic shooter and mainly video-centric. So you make the math and guess, which two bodies I've pre-ordered. Exciting times at the same though. Panasonic most certainly has knocked the goalposts out of the ballpark with the GH6 .. especially at that price point .. beating some of the cameras in the 4-5k bracket. The thing, I was sad to see, is that the live streaming has not been carried over to the GH6 from the GH5 II, but well, I still have the GH5 II for that. Everything else is just superb. It's also funny to see, that both the engineers at Canon and Panasonic have taken similar approaches to achieving higher quality footage. In the GH6, all modes up to 120fps are oversampled 5.7k. In the Canon R5C all modes up to 60fps are oversampled 8k. Both the GH6 and the Canon R5C introduced 4 channel audio recording in camera. Both cameras have been fitted with an internal fan to guarantee limitless recording. And there's lots more. I'm looking forward to the firmware updates though, like ProRes in 4k and 1080p, external recording to SSD, 4k120 raw via HDMI to Ninja V+, etc. Panasonic is the first after Blackmagic (to my knowledge) to utilize the USB-C port in a mirrorless (or DSLR) body to be able to store SSD, and that gives fantastic flexibility.

[@MicroFourNerds]

I was also sad about the live streaming, but I suppose that’s a unique selling point for the gh5ii I MAYYYY have just part exchanged my S1 to pre order a gh6 🙈🎉📸

[@EmeraldAudiovisual]

@@MicroFourNerds I've been using Panasonic since the GH4 for most video as Canon wasn't anywhere ready. So I stuck with my 5D Mk3 for photo and didn't upgrade until last year, when I got an EOS R. Still use the 5D Mk3 more and my Panasonic (by now a GH5 & GH5 II). So the EOS R5C will be the first Canon (for me), that will fit both brackets. But there is one thing you can't beat M43 for: when it has to be light weight and Panasonic just excels when it comes to IBIS and hand held shooting, so yes, a GH6 is also coming. It certainly makes for a better B camera and in some scenarios even A Camera, than the EOS R, which is just soulless.

Prores in 1080 is interesting Im wondering how practical that fill be to use.

Coolest thing was recognizing the liverpool docks from when I went there 10 years ago :D the low light perfomance looks about the same leap of quality we got when we went to 16mp, finally, from 16 to 20 we didn't had that much of a leap

[@deadsharpmedia4103]

Hi,firstly thank you for the informative video, So my question is I do a lot of dog photography using a gh5 and as you are aware it’s pain especially with auto focus,my Initial plan was to change over to Sony alpha but obviously gh6 would work to my benefit in terms of glass etc I just wondered if you feel this camera is capable of doing high quality sharp photos that move at a fast face pace for moving objects such as dogs etc

[@Arnette110]

Beginning film student here and I've been looking at cameras, albeit probably prematurely, but I've been looking at the S5 as my first camera. Now that the gh6 is out in wondering if I should go with the S5 or the GH6. Any thoughts?

[@MicroFourNerds]

I probably wouldn’t have bought the s5 if the gh6 was on the market. I’m selling my S1 to buy the gh6. Especially for filmmaking specifically! The s5 (for me) the only advantages is low light photography for tricky weddings. If I was video only, the gh6 does everything you’ll need and a whole lot more

[@50450720]

Great review, you look very pleased. The GH6 looks like a big step up from the GH5, especially of you can do back up recording to an external ssd. I'd like to take a good look at the internal recording data rates on the cfexpress card and see what the PQ is like. Also the price is quite high compared to the S1 and S5, so for those of us who film with cine lenses, the FF bodies with their better low light, DR, and depth of field control are still the way to go (imho)

I love your vids! What really shits me about M4/3 GH6 is the lack of an all in one Doco lens. Yes there is the Olympus 12-100 f4 but this is expensive seeing as the stabiliser don’t work with the GH5. I just can’t understand why Panasonic never made one.

Have you used the Lumix gx85? If so would you recommend the investment into the GH6 for a recreational user? I do love the small body size of the gx85. I'm Tempted to get the GH6, but feel like I haven't used my gx85 enough. My main lens is the Lumix 25mm 1.7

[@MicroFourNerds]

I have had the gx85, it’s a great camera! I think the gh6 is a completely different beast, and very video centric. I might wait until they inevitably refresh the G9 line with these new photo features. The bodies might be smaller (no need for a fan!) and it’ll be cheaper because you pay mostly for the video features on gh6. If it’s more for video, the gh6 is amazing 😁

Given that the OM-1 costs over twice as much as a G9, why should I want to switch?" I'm not saying that about the GH-6. Too bad I don't have a spare $2200 at the moment...

I did the same math, there’s no reason to drop my G9 for the “OM-1”… for $2200 USD. And as a recent film shooter, the naming choice irritates me. The GH6 is a better buy, you get more for your money, as usual with Panasonic. The fact that Olympus is still selling the EM1mkiii for $1500USD is ridiculous, considering the market.

When you did the autofocus you were central on the GH6 when holding object but the others still had your face in shot, wondered if it was a little bit unfair to the S5.

I think there might be an element of that, the gh6 was definitely the one in the best position. I tried to make it as fair as possible, but the space I had was very small. I also think, watching it back, because the wireless monitor was on the gh6, I tended to look down or away (at the monitor) when I was testing the gh6, which might have helped as well because my face wasn’t as visible.

[@lanceevans1689]

For anyone that may care, I just did a VERY quick test, comparing the Phase One's 150mp (~550mb file), to the GH6 HR 100mp (a ~270mb file, in jpg format). The upshoot: The final visual resolution was VERY-VERY close. Amazing on any level, but particularly when you realize you are comparing a $50,000 camera, to a $2,200 one. (I did not compare color or dynamic range, or anything else.)

[@markshirley01]

After watching Patrick Tomasso and Gerald Undone I was left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the GH6. But your review alongside Potato Jets was far more positive. I'm a full frame shooter but this camera for the first time has interested me in M43. The 10-25 f1.7 is exactly the focal range and fstop I use in my work. The thought of going into my work with one lens is really uplifting (literally). 😆 Question is it fast to move back and forth from photo to video for hybrid work.

That lens is just amazing, and one of the strengths of the system how you can have one lens to replace several others! It’s very fast to switch between photo and video, there’s a few ways to do it. You can use your C modes on the dial - there are 4 - so you could have your favourite two video settings and then two photo settings and you’d just have to switch one dial for everything to change. This even presets shutter speeds and colour profiles so very fast. Another way to do it is set your most used video function, and shoot away in aperture mode, then whenever you press the red button for video it’ll automatically start recording in the last settings on the movie dial

Why didnt you use the GH5MK2 for its autofocus The GH5 is from 2017 and the MK2 is from 2021 and with a better sensor?

[@MicroFourNerds]

Because I have to use cameras I actually own😊

[@sky.london]

Great video, thank you.

How do you judge AF in 120p? Is it continous? Does it good enough to follow such subjects as animals? How is C-AF in burst modes for photos?

[@MicroFourNerds]

I’ve found the 120p af to be as reliable as the other modes, so really helpful for moving subjects. The continuous burst modes for photography have been great! I have a dedicated video coming up just about the photography features. I’ve been using the camera for some bird photography and have had a very high percentage of usable images compared to other cameras 😊

[@przybylskipawel]

@@MicroFourNerds I am looking forward to this video.

What do you think about the GH6 as a stills camera compared to the S5? Given the S5 is cheaper it's compelling, but I think GH6 is better value because of the cost of lenses over time, especially zooms.

[@MicroFourNerds]

I’m in a pickle at the moment because Lightroom won’t open the gh6 raw files as the camera is so new. I’ve been converting them to TIFF but it takes ages. The ones I have edited seem superb! And I am really pleased with the low light quality on the gh6 for photography. I do love the very shallow depth of field for the s5, but you can always stick to fast primes in m43 and get a very similar effect. I love the 100mp handheld mode, and the 75fps is great. You get continuous auto focus at 35fps too for photo which is so impressive! I basically have a hard drive full of raw files I’m dying to get my hands on. I’ll upload a dedicated video as soon as I can properly tinker 😁😁😁😁😁

[@nickcarneyphotography]

@@MicroFourNerds Awesome, looking forward to seeing that. I have 4 panny lenses and the GH6 + 12-60 kit looks really attractive, but also the S5 is coming with a free 85mm 1.8 which is a lens I love... tough decisions.

[@alantuttphotography]

@@MicroFourNerds Continuous AF at 35 fps? That sounds more likely, given the other specs. Panasonic only claims 8 fps with AF for stills.

You're a solid drummer. Good review.

[@MicroFourNerds]

Thank you! 🙏 We whipped up this little composition specifically for this video, so it needed to be “talk over-able” for the most part but I did manage a cheeky fill or two haha. So much fun to make 😁

[@canturgan]

@@MicroFourNerds You did a good job. The guitar player is good too.

[@MicroFourNerds]

@@canturgan my husband was on guitar ☺️ going to use him again for some more comparison shots soon!

[@canturgan]

@@MicroFourNerds Do you ever play acoustic drums?

[@MicroFourNerds]

@@canturgan I do - I have a Mapex Pro M set in the garage, but I don’t get to play often as the neighbours will kill me. It’s always fun to set them up and go wild for a few hours tho!

[@KallusGarnet]

Your videos are amazing

[@puntoeffe_]

Gracias, very nice.

[@gcprost]

For me ProRes recording is big because I use ProRes all the time. This means I can add another camera to my kit without buying another Atomos recorder. I also like the USB power. I have a Mk 2 which uses USB power. This is much more convenient than using the NPF batteries on my other GH5’s.

[@officialtiimo]

So with the addition of the fan, does that mean there's no weather sealing anymore?

[@MicroFourNerds]

It is totally weather sealed still, even with the fan 😊 somehow! It’s gone through the same testing as other weather sealed certified cameras and passed.

[@swcblad]

the top end cfexpress cards are so fast, 3 times the speed of SSD, i can see codec likes 12 bit 4-2-2 in 5.7K and C4K on the future firmwares

[@mnkwazi]

Great video!

[@luisneumannp2748]

would you say the color has changed between Gh5, Gh6 and S5? They look different!

[@MicroFourNerds]

I think they all have that “lumix colour” that’s so good, I think they look quite different in the test shots just due to the different lenses and angles, though I did try to match them as best as I could 😊. (The gh5 shot where i walk towards camera outside looks very different from the gh6 because I left that one in Cine D by accident and the gh6 was in v-log)
