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.
