Long-Term Review: The Panasonic GH6 is one of the best hybrid cameras you can buy.
Perhaps the most outwardly obvious change with the GH6 is its body, which is now very much in line with the stellar Panasonic S1H. The front has gained a very welcome second function button along with a big red record button. The grip is now significantly deeper, and the shutter button is inclined a bit more steeply.The top of the camera is relatively the same, with a few rearranged buttons that make use of the extra space.
The menu is very much a known quantity if you’re a Panasonic user, which is to say that it’s very good. Simple to navigate — at least as much as a camera with this many options can be — and actually quite easy to get a hang of even if you don’t use Panasonics regularly. The advantage for stills shooting is that creating this depth map can be accomplished via a lower-resolution and lower bit-depth feed, hence increasing the readout and therefore the number of calculations. Combine that with its more powerful Venus Engine processor and the results are quite good.visible flicker in the EVF, which is a result of the lens quickly racking focus back and forth, and DFD’s reliance on its lens library.
Like Canon’s Dual Gain Output , found in the Canon EOS C300 Mark III and Canon C70, and Arri’s Dual Gain Architecture found in all of its Alexas, the GH6 sensor integrates tworead-out paths, each of which collects light in parallel. One path captures the regular signal, while the second uses a lower amplification signal for data that was clipped by the first path. These are then fed into the camera’s ADC where they’re combined for enhanced dynamic range.
The GH6 is not ISO invariant; the image becomes overwhelmed by chroma noise and a serious magenta shift quite easily when pushed but produces much better results if shot in-camera at the same equivalent ISO. For example, ISO 400 is much cleaner than ISO 100 pushed by 2 EV. This is not a camera that you want to underexpose to protect highlights, which did cause me some issues in a few situations — the OM-1 can simply handle more difficult lighting.
Olympus/OM System is, in my opinion, the gold standard for straight out of camera JPEGs. Even the default colors of the OM-1’s “Standard” profile are quite accurate and not overly saturated , and its noise reduction — which seems to be more sophisticated — is impeccably implemented with little effect on fine detail reproduction. The GH6 simply cannot keep up here.With that said, I do like the Natural, CineLike V2, and L.Classic Neo profiles for color, while L.
Let’s talk about image quality. As we can see, the GH6 brings a lot new to the table, but it steps up IQ and versatility in several very crucial ways: internal 10-bit 4:2:2 ProRes HQ, 12-bit ProRes RAW, full V-Log instead of V-Log L , a new sensor with faster readout and higher resolution, and Dynamic Range Boost.Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
Unsurprisingly, the GH6 produces files with the same annoyingly pinkish hue as the GH4, GH5, S1, and S1H. This is more of a personal preference than anything else, but I’ve always found that pink tint to make color correcting a bit more of a workout. However, the GH6 seems to have a better IR-cut filter than the Blackmagic natively does; this means blacks aren’t as plagued by IR contamination when using ND filters.
