Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 Summary

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 is clearly a capable mirrorless digital camera. It delivers a well-rounded performance, combining high image-quality and fast operational speed. Its relatively compact size makes it light and easy to carry when using small lenses.

With the GF-series, Panasonic has been adjusting the balance between features and simplicity. While the original GF1 was quite advanced, the GF2 that followed was seen as over-simplified and the GF6 regains numerous features and controls which were previously removed. It even gained WiFi and NFC, both featured aimed to please novice photographers, plus a highly popular tilting LCD.

There is certainly a lot to like about the GF6 and for those looking for a more powerful or speedy camera, Panasonic makes the G6 and recently-reviewed GH3 which all share the same Micro Four-Thirds sensor. The GH3 sits at the high-end with an EVF, same as the G6, plus triple control-dials in a weather-sealed body which is only effective when combined with a weather-sealed lens.

This mirrorless has access to the largest mirrorless lens lineup in the industry and its 2X crop-factor gives Micro Four-Thirds cameras an advantage in terms of total size compared to most mirrorless systems.
