    @jazzroy You exposed my secret of not getting out much!

    "It means that GH3 firmware with peaking must be in the works."

    Not necessarily. Panasonic has already said they can't do peaking on the GH3 because there isn't enough processing power. They may be right. The G6 appears to have a more powerful engine, because it can do 1080 60P in ETC mode. The GH3 tops out at 1080 30P in ETC.

    does it have proper mini jack mic input?

    and who the hell comes up with these 'scene mode' names... love these: Sweet Child's Face, Glistening Water, Warm Glowing Nightscape, Artistic Nightscape, Glittering Illuminations, Soft Image of a Flower, Appetizing Food, Cute Dessert, Freeze Animal Motion

    Does built-in time lapse function imply electronic shutter?

    Yippee!

    I will jump ship from my GH2 when I see 720p 120fps. heck... give me 720p 96fps, and I will give it some serious thought. This seriously seems like huge oversight to me with panasonics new line up. Even if it was limited to 10 or 20 seconds, it would be a huge selling point.

    @fosterchen Yes, the G6 have ETC. From the Panasonic's press release: "The Extra Tele Conversion function virtually extends the zoom range Max.4.8x without deterioration of image quality in smaller resolution."

  • fosterchenfosterchen

    No ETC Mode!

    @mintcheerios at 1.37 you can see the size of the sensor!

    Hy Vitally, i would like you to ask what about the comparison between an Hacked Gh2 and this new G6...somewhere i read the sensor is the same of a Gh3..this is wrong, or not? Thanks so much for the attention

    @Renovatio

    Anyway why so fast to present new models? Panasonic is not canon...or wasn't, i guess..so, next month gh4?

    It absolutely usual release cycle for Panasonic and many other companies. So, nothing is fast here.

    GH2, or...GH3 replacement camera?

  • stoneystoney

    @svart Prolly out of the box G6 would give better IQ than GH2 in photo and video. Better usability too. But I have no doubt that hacked GH2 would give better 24p. And you know Panasonic hasn't released a firmware for G5 yet. G6 needs a firmware 1.1 to have a chance for hack.

  • MarcioKMarcioK

    @svart They say that the processsor is new, and faster - the burst modes are faster now, and the ISO limit (for photo) is 25600.

  • stoneystoney

    @John_Farragut Have no doubt. GX2 will kick ass!!!

  • svartsvart

    I wonder if they changed anything else with the electronics or if it's just a GH2 in a new housing?

    @firstbase

    It is back of GF6, not G6.

    @hank

    It seems like management still resist to make proper camera with proper color. :-)

  • hankhank

    seems reasonable camera with good features.now all it lacks is proper color. @Vitaliy_Kiselev will camera be available in pink? ;-)

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Does anyone actually use the iA function? I find it an ugly button. ;-)

    Very many people use iA :-) Plus they are improving it with each generation.
