The new Panasonic Lumix GH6 has arrived. Video producer Manuel Wenk and photographer Thomas Kunz – that’s me – were able to test it out in advance.

I’m a full-frame fan, which is why I’ve kept my hands off Micro Four Thirds cameras until now. However, the Lumix GH6 got my attention. The most impressive part of this feature-filled camera is its excellent video mode, but the video above shows what else the GH6 can do.

The specs:

• New 25.2 MP sensor
• New Venus processor
• Up to 13 stops of dynamic range
• Can record up to four channels of audio simultaneously
• 75 frames per second in raw mode
• Tilt and swivel screen
• Two card slots (CFexpress and SD)

Recording quality:

• 10-bit 5.7K at 50 fps
• 10-bit 4:2:2 4K at 50 fps
• 10-bit 4:2:0 4K at 100 fps
• 10-bit 4:2:2 FHD at 240 fps
• 4:2:2 5.7K Apple ProRes at 25 fps

Profile the potter

To put the GH6 to the test, we shot a short profile of potter Olivia Maurer. Here’s the result:
