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 passing by Taiwan’s WiFi certification tests, Panasonic’s latest interchangeable lens camera has broken cover over at TechRadar. The leak has given us the first glimpse at the Lumix GF6’s full spec list, which include the same 16-megapixel sensor as the GX1, a new Venus engine to assist with imaging performance, an electrostatic touchscreen and (in a first for ILCs) built-in NFC . Better still, the team had some time to play with the camera, which has shown itself almost precisely 12 months after the last GF iteration. The camera apparently tries to straddle the gap between compact point-and-shoots and the more technical world of mirrorless and DSLR shooters with a new mode dial on top and a more responsive touchscreen. In addition to NFC, there’s even built-in WiFi to aid image sharing — although we can only share the original article through the magic of Google cache — take a peek at the source below. No word on a specific release date in the leak, although the UK’s £449 price tag (which includes a new 14-42mm kit lens) should translate to around $680 on the other side of the Atlantic.

(Update: At TechRadar’s request, we’ve taken down the image of the GF6)

So, there are rumors going around that the upcoming iPhone 5S will feature NFC support to keep up with the times, which is old hat actually when you think about it since most of the high end Android smartphones already come with NFC connectivity built-in. The thing is, the latest rumor to make its rounds would concern the yet unreleased Samsung Galaxy S4, which appears to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Galaxy S3, where a leaked image of the Galaxy S4’s battery was shown to carry a rating of 2,600mAh alongside the Near Field Communication (NFC) label on the battery itself. I guess the principle of something not being broke does not require any form of fixing applies here, don’t you think so?

Or would you rather to see the Galaxy S4 take the same road as that of the Galaxy Note 2 which will feature the NFC chip on the battery cover itself. Apparently, the leaked battery that you see above was taken from somewhere in China, and it remains to be seen whether the image is legit or not. what do you think?
