Panasonic Lumix GH6 is a video monster that’s half the cost of a Sony A7S III

After a long wait, the Panasonic Lumix GH6 has finally landed – it’s Panasonic’s most powerful mirrorless camera yet. (Looking for our first impressions? Check out our hands-on Panasonic Lumix GH6 review).

The GH6 follows the Panasonic Lumix GH5 and GH5S introduced in 2017 and 2018, respectively, with a complete redesign of these cameras with a new 25.2MP Three-quarters sensor, processor and body design.

While the GH6 is a hybrid camera, its main feature is its video performance that rivals more expensive full-frame cameras like the Sony A7S III and Canon EOS R5. It can internally record 5.7K/60p video in 4:2:0 10-bit color, as well as 4K/120p slow-motion clips (also 4:2:0 10-bit).

If you’re looking for high-quality 4K video, the GH6 can also record 4K/60p 4:2:2 10-bit internally, and can simultaneously output the same footage to an external recorder via HDMI. Of course, all of these video modes are processor-intensive, but the GH6 promises unlimited recording time in all modes thanks to its built-in fan cooling.

The downside to these new fans is that the GH6’s chassis is a little sturdier than its predecessors. In fact, the GH6 is bigger and heavier than the Sony A7S III, which topped our best video camera guide. Panasonic’s new Micro Four Thirds flagship weighs 739 grams (compared to the 614-gram A7S III) and is nearly 100mm thick, which means it’s not as compact as its predecessors.

What you get in return is an absolutely brutal camcorder that offers pro video capabilities that rival any Sony, Blackmagic and Canon camera. Since the GH6 has a CFexpress Type B card slot (as well as a standard UHS II card slot), you can even record 5.7K/30p video in the industry-standard Apple ProRes 422 HQ and ProRes 422 formats internally.

Other physical improvements include a new 3.68 million-dot electronic viewfinder (0.76x magnification) and the excellent “free-angle” touchscreen we saw on the Panasonic Lumix S1H, which can be moved in almost any direction, allowing you to connect two Or a USB-C cable and full-size HDMI without blocking your view of the screen.

Perhaps the only fly in the ointment of the GH6 announcement is that some additional features will only be available in a future firmware update, with no release date currently. These features include the ability to record internally to Cinema 4K ProRes 422 HQ and ProRes 422, USB to SSD recording, and the option to record native 4K/120p video externally to the Atomos Ninja V+.

Let’s hope these features come soon, but for now the Panasonic GH6 is more than enough for most filmmakers and YouTubers. You can pick up the GH6 for $2,199/£1,999 in the US and UK from mid-March, while Australians will have to wait until April 2022 to pick up the GH6 for AU$3,699 body-only. The kit with the 12-60mm lens is $2,799 / £2,199 / AU$4,799.

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025

Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

Tom Holland is going to have a very busy 2025. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the actor has signed Christopher Nolan’s next, which he will juggle the filming of with that of the long-awaited Spider-Man 4. (Also Read – Tom Holland shares why he left alcohol behind: ‘Struggling without booze…’)

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
