Great review as always, but also I would have gladly watched 22 mins of Jordan shouting for Chris to hurry up

@18:46 the contrast between the sky and subject while maintaining details look gorgeous.

One of the prettiest camera reviews I've ever watched, Jordan really flexed his grading muscles on with the V-Log

The thing I was not expecting is that handheld Hi-Res mode that has twice the pixels of the OM-1 and can even process moving subjects, this makes me very hyped for the G9 successor

Man what a cold opening, I felt the chills of that freezing opening 😂

Thanks again for giving us a realistic (as always) review. The footage at 18:33 was dope. We love you Jordan.

19:12 When Chris was just standing there, looking good, you can see the pulsing on the conifer on the left pretty noticeably on the 1/96th second video.

As a stills action/nature photographer Im sticking with my om-1 order but glad for the video guys this is a great camera to boost 4/3 in the photo industry

Absolutely loved this video! Can't wait to on my hands on one of these.

Just got 95 notifications, the gh6 must have just been announced

Seeing Panasonic nerf the GH6's photo capabilities and features gives me hope that Panasonic plan on doing a G9 mkII or a G10 photo-centric body. All I could ever want out of my G9 is a BIT more dynamic range and BIT more resolution, which this new sensor seems like it would be able to deliver.

Fascinating that this is more MP but not stacked. Interesting difference in the two new flagships.

The fact that Panasonic is using the same dynamic range boosting system as the Canon C70/C300mk3 and Arri cameras is really cool. I don't have any reason to buy the GH6, but I do want that technology in more cameras, and it seems like that's a serious possibility if multiple manufacturers are allowed to use it.

Both, the OM-1 and GH6 show how good the MFT System can be. The cameras are fantastic. Hopefully Panasonic will announce a Lumix g9 Mkii or g10 as I m not into videography but more in photography. I want Dual Iso and a bit more Dynamic Range.

I've now come to learn that these fellows are the best reviewers on KZfaq & The Web. 5 STARS!

So funny to see all my KZfaqrs drop the GH6 the same day! A dozen. Yours is the first I'm watching!

Great shots, Chris & Jordan, really showing as usual the pro/showbiz potential the gear has

Petition to get Chris to present a video like in the videotest. It made me giggle so much! Nice video as always, cheers

MFT is back! Cant wait for what Fuji has in store for apsc!

The QoL usability bits have convinced me for the first time to consider Panasonic as an option. I wasn't sold back when the hype got the GH4 happened, but I think if I was starting today, this would be a great video production choice.

Great job as always fellas!

Great video :-) as always. Looking forward to get my hands on a GH6 when it’s available.

Another great review as usual guys. Thank you. One observation though, the both of you talk like you don't stop to take a breath. It's like non-stop. I sense it's a competition between you to see whos gonna pause first. LOL.

Amazing capability and features. I am a M43 User and mostly like the photography side, but becoming more in videography too. Thanks to Chris and Jordan to making another great video and a learning session.

A balanced review, not overly denigrating because of autofocus. THANK YOU!

Nothing like this new stuff, congratulations Jordan Drake this will make your day

I am definitely interested in the full review when you have the final production version in your hands. The improvement in the colors coming from the GH6 is quite dramatic and impressive. I think once we start seeing videos using the final release version of the GH6 it will be easier to make a decision on whether or not to pick one up.

I don't care what cameras you review, I just love the chemistry between Chris and Jordan, as a brit, I approve of your dry humour 😃

Once again MFT cameras deliver superior IBIS. Amazing stability. I look forward to a detailed review and hope you talk about the time code support ideally using Tentacle Sync Track E / Sync E to demonstrate drift and if the Sync E’s need to be connected all the time.

Everyone jumps straight to the AF test.

Colors look incredible on the footage - first thing that jumped out to me.

Great review, thanks!

The lighting at 18:50 looks incredible xD

I really hope they will add the punch in magnification feature, while recording, on the Lumix S cameras...thanks for the review!

Nice homage to Camera Conspiracies auto focus test.

Appreciate your insight. You answered a question I had... it does let you punch in to check focus while recording! That alone might make it worth the price of admission.

18:34 that footage is absolutely beautiful

Great review of the GH6. but guys, it is so sad to see how these days photographers and videographers rely so much on auto everything, all I hear is "auto focus" "face detection" and it goes on and on, when I see photographers from the film days like Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, David Bailey, Mario Testino, etc. etc. I wonder, if they relied on auto everything, they would've never had a chance to be as famous as many movie star and celebrities as they were, in those days, photographers had to know what they were doing and use their brains and knowledge to get the job done. Well, keep up the automated good job!!

Those post produced crop-in talking head shots looked pretty good. Impressive.

woulda loved to see some autofocus shots w ith lights in the background. mostly seems good but not a situation thatd be distracting. hopefully the full review can show this!

Just bought Lumix G91/90/95. love it !!!

Jordan, Chris, We like DPReview... reviews. Cameras today are so full of features and it's a big learning experience to fully master a camera. Sometimes I feel that a lot of YT users are kind of confused about so many tools available and what to chose (Use case vs the right tool for the job). If you have time to make a video to explain the difference and suggest the right tool for the right job... That would be appreciated. Filmmaker, Moviemaker, Videomaker, KZfaqr, Vlogger... Videos are getting very important but ... Vlogger is still different than Filmmaker... I think. I feel bad seeing people (vloggers) criticizing the Z9 for example over the tilting screen, come on! the Z9, R1, R3 are top of the line gears... I think the a ZV-1 is enough and inexpensive for most vloggers out there. R3 has a fully articulated screen, but most pros mainly use the EVF/OVF. I recently saw a YTber + Photographer who shoots only models, complaining about the full size body of the R3 he bought while having a R5. Why buying a R3 to shoot static objects? The R5 is enough… Most people shooting in studio with multiple bodies have external screens/recording monitors + multi camera monitor like yolobox, the fully articulated screen "controversy" is irrelevant and tiny, and it's unprofessional if you are not looking at the lens thus the viewers (I have Canon gears). You cannot shoot in studio and have fully articulated screen …in your face. A lot of filmmakers love to manual focus, to control... who needs AF and when? I feel some gearheads are giving bad time to makers, great tools, and years of R&D… probably because they are misinformed. I feel GH6 is targeting Moviemakers, Filmmakers, … OM1 more photographers… but both have videos and stills capabilities. Return on investment / Use case and the right tool for the job…

Great Review! For vídeo work the GH6 looks fantastic! But right now, in my opinion, the OM1 is the best hybrid MFT Camera option. Anyway, the new 25mp sensor, the dual gain, the high resolution capabilities (capable to capture movement!!!) are very impressive and I think that Panasonic should bring a G10 for the photo enthusiasts. A GX10 would be also very welcome if they could make it small, weather sealed, and for hybrid use. I think that 2022 definitively shows us the vitality of the MFT system. Right now we have two fantastic new sensors: a 25mp and a 20mp BSI stacked one! I believe that we will see a lot of people returning from Smartphones to Cameras choosing MFT, because of the overall size, capabilities and price.

Love it. Thanks.

Great review video. So AF is usable vlogging, run/gun and documentary style video.

They broke the 20MP barrier 🚧!!! 😎

That was a great review. The best for gh6 i've seen so far. Really detailed and you adressed all critical improvements changes and what not. But I need to ask, since you seem the ones that really know whats up. Is there an option for a battery grip? It seems that the connector for that is missing. Maybe a design that hooks up to the battery compartment? Do you know anything about it?

Amazing test, all my questions are answered... Was really hoping we would have great AF... Especially at 4k120.. damned... What about in HD240? Anyway it'll be a nice upgrade. I will be using gh6 with zooms and primes, and S5 with the lumix 1.8 primes, for my productions for at least the next couple of years. They are very complementary. VLog or Raw output depending the projects... Hope AF improves through AF. Now my gh5S has a successor, it is going to fly fast :-D

Love Pana, they support very long with great firmware updates!!

Fantastic review guys thank you. The only thing I'd love to hear more about is the differences you see in sensors between an MFT and a full frame like the S1. I've been using the GH5 for over 5 years and its an absolute workhorse as you say, but somehow I feel the sensor still falls short of a full frame when it comes to more 'serious' work like printing photos for exhibition or cinematography. When we say they've added another 5 megapixels to this new sensor, what's the equivalent 'conversion' on its full frame older brother? Is a megapixel on a full frame camera really the same as a mega pixel on an MFT? This is where my confusion begins as you can see and I'd love to know your thoughts. Thanks again and keep it up guys!

Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)

Thanks for video.

Jordan's face after the snowball. Priceless.

I bet Panasonic will release G10 for M43 photographers later this year

THE camera. I m in love with Panny!

what im most impressed by is your absolutely fluid sentence at 5:10. I mean, you managed to remember all of your findings and rattled off tongue twisting sentences without stopping for like a minute straight. what the hell

That AF system (for video) is a massive improvement over previous models. It was near flawless for the talking head shots.

An entertaining video, well done! Any news about the sensor manufacturer, from the way Chris described it, it seems to work like the Fairchild sensors used in the first Blackmagic cameras? Did Panasonic buy or copy the dual readout tech? To my knowledge only Fairchild and ARRI use it, and is completely different from Dual Gain.... at first glance highlight roll off looks fantastic, but that is probably due to Jordan's insane grading skills.

thought you guys were going to talk about the rolling shutter

Awesome & Thanks :)

very good cinematic camera!

AT 10:07 there appears to be fan noise in the audio or preamp noise from the mic, can you verify what this is from please - if from GH6 fan - thanks PS - the video throughout looks stunning, absolutely superb! The color pop on the bench at 1:30 is wow! The Face wobble of Jordan 12:20 at 300p is well worth it, very impressive.

Wow I must add the GH6 to my vastly growing camera collection.

Is that video autofocus performance test a reference to camera conspiracies? Love it!

You guys are F**king awesome.... ❤

They finally put the hi-res mode on the drive mode dial! Nice

Hey guys, one comparison that might be interesting for this HiRes feature is, comparing it to a normal single shot that was AI upscaled by e.g. the Lightroom AI upscaler. Because looking at both the single shot and the HiRes Shot it seemed like an AI upscaled version could be close

This gh6 is extremely interesting, but I don't know if 5mpx more are worth not having it stacked. As it was in the comparison between gh5 and em-1 MK2/3 even this time to me, as a person that completely bypass video features, as I almost never shooted one in 15 years of digital cameras, the OM-1 is more complelling. But still it's amazing to see those fantastic cameras in MFT market.

Thanx love it so interesting

Thank goodness they changed the waveform display, i love the new audio screen and that you can punch in for focus while recording! Be great to see manufacturers give a more accurate readout of battery life remaining, is three bars the best you can do? lol.

@9:20 when he was running towards the camera I started screaming and running 😂😂😂😂😳😳😳 He look insane

The GH6 looks to be a very impressive camera indeed. Now we just need that sensor in a more photography-centred G9MkII, pretty please Panasonic!

Thank you!!!

I watched this video from start to finish even though I am not planning to buy this camera🤔 I lauged a lot when Jordan was shouting "hurry up" it was hilarious.

This is pushing me toward the OM-1 as I am primarily a stills photographer, but I’d love to see an update to the Panasonic G95 and even an updated GX9, but I think that M4/3 is transitioning to the flagship only game like much of the industry due to smartphones. Great video as always, thanks very much.

This is basically what I want the Fuji X-H2 to be when it's announced in may, just add 8K and a stacked BSI APS-C sensor and you have my money

I would really like to see a comparison of GH6 vs OM-1, especially how their AF compare😉

Thanks for the great review! Does the 4K/120 10bit internal mode also have autofocus and audio?

It’s a discount S1H and I love it

This was a great initial impression. my g85 has been showing its age and I think the gh6 is going to find a new home, at my house. lol. For video you cant beat it. For photos the 100 megapixel mode is exactly what I would want for landscapes on a tripod. The auto focus looks pretty good especially for talking hes stuff or scenes where the subject is static! If there is going to be alot of complex movement it makes sense to use manual on any camera just to make sure you nail it. This camera is no exception but autofocus looks much improved.

Very nice

Now that the GH6 is so impressive and there is no G9 II anounced it would be great if Panasonic would update G9 with firmware once again.

19:13 Chris imitating Kasey the camera conspiracy guy made me laugh! 😄

The new M43 cameras looks interesting. Any idea if they will be offering new macro prime lenses?

Dream camera❤️❤️

15:27 punch-in while rolling is huge!

Thank you for this test. Like many other people I would have liked to see a small comparison between the OM-1 and the GH6. In video, no doubt that the GH6 is better, but in photography, and especially wildlife photography, what is it? the AF, the ISO....? Finally, the GH6 has a ventilation system, does it have a big impact on the tropicalization? (another point that may be in favor of the OM-1.

9:52 - Video Capabilities with Jordan!

What a great camera! It still seems a bit digital, or videoish, as compared to my pocket 4k though. So I personally would not call it the best MFT camera out there. If you need MFT, IBIS, autofocus and/or very high frame rates, go with the GH6. If you have a more pro work flow and require MFT, I would still go for the pocket 4K. Thanks for the video guys!

Olympus might have been the one talking about making a Wow camera, but so far it is the GH6 that is most making me go WOW! That high res mode is amazing and tests by oithers show it produces much sharper photographs than the full frame R6. I was originally going to get the GH5 M2, but this GH6 has caused me to start looking at which cameras I can sell to fund a GH6 purchase. I am loving what I see and especially great to see this entire review shot on the GH6. The quality is stellar.

From launch event: Processing time on HighRes mode will be less with tripod.

Wow 8PM embargo in EST, strange times upon us

Ill Wait for the inevitable Gh6 Mkii

Thanks for this video. I have a question: I saw you were using the DJI wireless mic for the recording… did you connect it to the GH6 in some way (how?) or it was connected to the DJI Pocket 2?

i see you switched to the DJI mic system from the rode, what are your experiences with it ? the camera is a beast (GH4 owner) but what this gives me is hype for the S1h successor, if they don't screw it up that seems like it's going to be the benchmark for cameras.

Interesting video. I swear though there must be some reason they won't switch to PDAF that I don't know about.

Yeah during the presentation they said to just use 5.7K video and extract that way.

Does the GH6 have the 4k live cropping seen on the GH5?

Love me some dial up auto focus
