A new GH6 should have two USB-connections that allow power over USB and SSD recording at the same time or video over USB like a webcam. Probably they add a versatile connector for different add-ons that can be attached below the camera and this can hold an SSD or battery or additional USB. The camera would be usable as it is for run&gun but it also can be rigged up with SSD, external power for a whole day of shooting or for a full day of live streaming. This all could be done with much less cables and things hanging around.

I was wondering why there’s not split cable or adaptor that can do both.

I think it goes without saying that the next iteration of the GH6 should have PDAF. That's been a request for a long time from most content creators and low budget filmmakers. I'm guessing that the sales of the GH6 have dropped off since the S5ii/x came out. It's no coincidence that those two models gained a lot of attention. As much power and features the GH6 has, I would more likely grab the G9ii if I were to go back to M4/3. Personally, I'm more attracted to the full frame of the S5iix for its sensor and Panasonic look. But, the G9ii would be great as well.

@jeremypope-levison721 Ай бұрын

As a GH6 user myself, I have to agree but disagree with some of the things in this video. Overall, GREAT video. I agree that the autofocus needs an update, the screen needs to stay (which the screen on the S5 II X pisses me off way too much), better battery life, and better IBIS. I don't agree on the matching card slots. I personally love having the option of using both. I hate using an SSD on my rig because it's one more cord to bump or break, I can't use the USB port to power the camera if I'm using an SSD. It's one of my biggest gripes about the S5 II X because I like shooting to a CFexpress, and they aren't that expensive. I honestly use the GH6 more than the S5 II X for my production work because I find that the S5 II X gets in my way a lot with the design and lack of function buttons/customizability, etc. If they kept the body how it is and added phase detect, better battery life and IBIS, improved the photo dynamic range, and made the camera a bit less noisy, I think that would be the ideal GH6 and I'd buy them.

Speaking of dials, I've been wishing (since the GH4) that the drive modes (single, burst, post focus, timelapse etc) go on the right dial, and PASM on the left. For a hybrid/video-centric camera to have 4 modes to take pictures but only one "Creative Video" mode that combines all 4 in the menu system really bothers me. I'd rather set my drive mode to M(anual) and leave it there.

@mrheng562 Ай бұрын

Proxy recording with SSD and/or card slots is a no brainer update. If they don’t do this, they’re obviously abandoning the GH6. That is a feature specifically for professional use because of the redundancy.

@GeekyNerdyTechy Ай бұрын

Do you have a GH6 and which features are you waiting for to hopefully come to the camera? Panasonic is great at updating camera bodies, so fingers crossed the GH6 community gets another meaningful update! Let me know wha you'd like to see from a future GH6II or GH7.

@TrepidJon Ай бұрын

I’d love to get wireless live streaming and live composite that gh5ii has, and maybe internal braw if I’m being super hopeful. And so much stuff that can just be added with firmware. Oh and maybe more fixes for the high contrast bright streaking issue

@harlemwoodstudios Ай бұрын

Dual native ISO.

@cornellouis Ай бұрын

I know we probably can't expect improved shadow noise or a lack of streaking, but if they could enable it as a webcam or with direct streaming (not through OBS), that would give the camera more usage for me.

@MysticalMeerkat Ай бұрын

100% agree with you. Sadly Panasonic IMO isn't going to throw money or firmware updates at the GH6. Once they cut the price substantially they basically washed their hands. A shame as it is my favorite camera at the moment. I love love the ergonomics and the image quality and the slo-mo and basically everything about this camera.

@AoyagiAichou Ай бұрын

As far as I'm concerned, the main advantage of the e-stabe in G9ii is corner warping correction. Godsend. Future features? Dual USB-C ports. One for PD, one for data.

@alantuttphotography Ай бұрын

I would love to see real-time LUT and live-view composite come to the GH6. Also, CAF in photo modes at more than 7 frames per second, which should be more than possible since it can do 60 fps CAF in video. Would also like to see firmware upgrades for the GH5m2. Haven't seen anything significant beyond what they promised at launch. For a new camera, a way to power it with a battery bank while recording to SSD would be incredibly useful.

The GH6 is still great if you use anamorphic or cinema lenses , but I have a suspicion that a G9IIX is about to be announced real soon .. as the current G9II is an S5II body without the Fan .. which it desperately needs to be a full functioning video beast.

I tend to shoot rock concerts so power my 3 GH6s from mains via the DMW-DCC17GU DC Coupler and shoot onto SSDs so car slots isn't a big issue for me unless the price of CF express cards miraculously suddenly freefalls. (I use battery grips for my S5, S5iiX and G9ii. The big update on the GH6 and especially the S5, S5ii x and G9 ii I'd like to see is timecode via Bluetooth from either an Atomos Ultrasync Blue or the Atomos connect (or similar). If Zoom can do this then I'm sure Panasonic can. Totally agree on the Leica monochrome Picture Profile, what a great fall back if concert lighting is a bit dull. And I'd love to see the Real-Time LUT added. It goes without saying we'd all like to have Phase detection AF.

More likelihood they will either refresh GH6 or just go straight to GH7 As much as firmware updates are a good thing for consumers, you kind of have to also think in the perspective of Panasonic as a business, their M43 are not really selling that well anymore, the G9M2 kinda changed that, its been selling out everywhere like hotcakes in Europe and in Japan its constantly out of stock. But their full frames are moving much larger numbers. I do hope that Panasonic wont be ending their M43 lineup, if anything they should pounce on OM Systems and revive Olympus brand and have that as a photographic centric lineup while the Lumix are all relegated to hybrids and video cameras.

@GeekyNerdyTechy Ай бұрын

I doubt they'll be stopping it. While the releases have slowed down the G9II was an unexpected gem of a M43 camera. I think there's most likely some great stuff coming.

I own two GH6s, and considering getting a third one. However, I am also questioning whether Panasonic is a company I want to continue supporting based on the way they are treating me as a customer. Things like realtime LUT and proxy recording are just the basics, and if their attitude is that I need buy another camera for what the GH6 is more that capable of, then I’m not sure they’re a company I want to do anymore business with.
