Panasonic is releasing new model “DMC-GF6″ in its LUMIX series on April 24. It features a 1.6 million pixel Live MOS sensor and LUMIX’s unique image processing engine “Venus Engine” that improves resolution, so you can take a high-quality photo/movie in a dark area.

NFC and Wi-Fi is built in.

3 models will be out on April 24 with 3 different colors (white, black, red):
DMC-GF6 – Camera only
DMC-GF6X – Camera with electric-powered zoom lens
DMC-GF6W – Camera with standard/tele lens

LCD touch panel has adjustable angle; 180-degree to upper direction and 45-degree to down direction. It takes only 0.5 seconds to be able to shoot after turning the camera on, so you can release the shutter right after you find an object you want to take a picture of. Speed of continuous shooting is 4.2 times per second.

It has an improved version of the “Omakase iA” feature that helps the user choose the best shooting mode depending on the target object and it has added a food recognition function to make pictures of dishes look delicious.

There are several other functions to enable you to enhance photos, including 19 different kinds of filter functions.

Size: 111.2 x 64.8 x 38.4mm
Weight: 323g
Camera: 4/3 inch Live Mos senser, 1.6 million effective pixels
ISO: ISO160-25600

After a review was published prematurely on another site revealing specs of Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-GF6, Digicam Info has leaked press images of the upcoming model in white. As noted before, the stylish-looking micro four thirds will pack 16-megapixels, a new Venus image engine, low light AF system, 4.2 fps burst speed, 1080-60i video, WiFi, NFC and up to 25,600 ISO, among other features — if the leaks pan out, of course. We noted earlier that the GF6 would start at around $680 with a 14-42mm kit lens, and sources also claim the camera will be launched early tomorrow morning — though at this point, there’s very little left to actually announce.
