Panasonic Lumix G6 Announced
Posted in: Today's Chili
Earlier this month, we did mention on how the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 would most probably arrive with integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, and that happened to pan out to be true eventually, with Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities built-in. Well, it seems that the company from Japan has just announced yet another mid-range Micro Four Thirds camera known as the Panasonic Lumix G6, making sure that it comes with a rather interesting list of specifications, especially when a mid-range camera is concerned.
The Panasonic Lumix G6 comes across as a 16-megapixel shooter which is capable of shooting a respectable 7fps in burst mode, with a high sensitivity level of ISO 25,600, not to mention it is accompanied by Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities as well. Other hardware specifications include a 1,440K-dot OLED LVF, a startup time of just 0.5 seconds, a 3” touchscreen display that boasts of a 180-degrees swivel and 270 degrees of tilt, alongside a spanking new Venus image engine and full-area touch AF. No idea on pricing or availability as at press time though.

Come 9th of April, word has it that Panasonic could be taking the wraps off two new cameras – the GF6 and the G6. Both cameras are expected to take advantage of the 16MP sensor found on the GX1 and will come with features such as improved AF, a faster processor and an articulated screen for the GF6 model. However apart from that, not much else is known about either device, until recently when a recent filing with the Taiwan National Communications Commission revealed that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 will come with built-in WiFi capabilities.
What this means for photographers is that they will be able to transfer photos from their camera to a mobile device, like a smartphone or tablet, or a computer without the need for cables, making it handy while moving about snapping photos and not having to run back to hook it up. We’re not sure if this feature will extend to the G6, so we guess we will have to wait and see.
