@Renovatio It's very annoying. At least the PAL GH3 gives you the opportunity to shoot 60p conformed to 24p.
The Panasonic Lumix G6 is an excellent camera, with very few issues, although battery life could be better. The Wi-Fi features are excellent for remote control and sending images to your smartphone, but uploading to social networks should be much easier, without having to go through the Lumix logon website, which caused some issues. Value for money is very good, particularly as the introduction price competes very well with similar cameras, and we would expect the price to drop over time making it even better value for money.
The Panasonic Lumix G6 delivers excellent image quality even when using the kit lens that comes in the box, and as its part of the Micro Four Thirds system, there are a large number of lenses available for when you want to upgrade, from both Panasonic, Olympus and many other manufacturers. The lenses are generally smaller than most other mirrorless camera lenses, making the camera and lenses a compact and portable system. With this, the latest Micro Four Thirds SLR styled camera from Panasonic, the Lumix G6, Panasonic has introduced an excellent reason to switch from your DSLR.

Or keep asking Panasonic to add standard ProRes support to G(H) series for modes that can handle the bitrates. Practical value for professionals' workflows and added value for enthusiasts, would attract positive reviews and more good reputation, as well as help compete better with upcoming BlackMagic cameras.
We know hacked GH2 can do 150+ Mbps with fast SDHC cards. According to Apple ProRes whitepaper, this bitrate would be enough for 24p, 25p/50i and 30p/60i ProRes422. With UHS-1 cards, also 50p and 60p ProRes422 should be possible.
Maybe they could sell some kind of "Pro Class" firmware updates. This would enable them to sell cameras with basic firmware at consumer prices, without format license fees, and for pros offer paid "upgrade cards" that would cover extra licensing and programming costs.
Hmm. So really no live feed again (like with the G5). Semms like a "no go" for me. Especially compared to the GH2. I am happy that at least now someone is confirming & checking this. I read it just in ONE Review. No one else wrote about or checked it. (Like its a feature no one needs ...)
Just received my G6 yesterday and I must say that it beats my old OM-D E-M5 and even my hacked GH1 in video mode. Still pics are also fantastic. Low light performance is better than on the E-M5. The AVCHD video in 50p is beautiful! It's going to be a KILLER if it's hacked with higher bit rate.
Btw, we added G6 kit to our Panasonic kits deals - http://www.personal-view.com/faqs/gh3-notes/gh3-discount
@Vitaliy: Nice. Without 30 min. limit?

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Are you going to have body only deal?
Hope so.
