Balanced, sensible review. Amazing how so many youtube personalities don’t care about crucial video features that a prosumer, advanced amateur film maker would. Oh, but their camera has good focus…this review was refreshingly different, balanced and helpful.
@Anung Un Rama Gerald Undone for one has glowing review of Sony products, but tepid, cool review of Panasonic or Nikon products. TH-cam is filled with biased reviews. Totally disagree with you.
I have a GH6. I record 4K on my Atomos Ninja and I record 5.7K ProRes internally with my 2 TB CF Express card. I love this feature. Not only do I get a ProRes backup, I can actually punch in and get a closer shot. As far as the auto focus goes this camera has a focus limiter. This works well for me as I shoot live theatre, concerts, and dance shows. It takes a little more time to set up but there is no background hunting.
Yo brotherman, saw tons of videos on the GH6 and ONLY clicked at yours and Caleb's video. As usual, i loved your video, love the t shirt and most importantly nice to see you all well and good too. And yea, more coverage on the GH6 please? Would love to see more ProRes 422 footage, dynamic range and color grades done on it too, cheers buddy!
@@mondobytes eff that. Your video is tops. I’ll keep pushing it. I love how much you treated it like a cinema camera and not a consumer camera. Seeing some responses to the DFD AF on twitter and how that makes the camera “useless”, I think it’s time to start randomly calling camera brands “useless” that don’t have timecode, shutter angle, waveform, dual zebras, CUBE LUT support and so-on.
@@photojoseph Very well said. Camera’s like the GH6 reveal a lot of youtube personalities that talk about camera’s are not as advanced as they present themselves to be. Sure sign is their obsessive delight in advanced auto focus and dismissal of a video powerhouse such as the GH6 or BM camera on AF alone.
As a filmmaker, I have to be honest in saying that much of the time I don't rely on autofocus. But, as a indie/low budget filmmaker too, having reliable autofocus can be a life saver when your budget doesn't allow for long set up periods while shooting and you need to do more run and gun type filming. That being said, I did shoot a feature film with a GH5 and never used autofocus once. So, it is possible to shoot without completely relying on autofocus. But, having it does reduce a lot of stress while filming. In the end, I think the GH6 is definitely an excellent camera to have in your tool bag. It may not be the hybrid camera many people are looking for, but, I think it's strong enough to stand on its own.
Filmmaking is about the struggle… When you have to work for it, you get Star Wars, when everything is handed to you on a plate, you get Phantom Menace… …
The color and inbody stabilization is hard to beat. The "floaty" skateboard motion-shot in this post was completely handheld. Not many cameras can do that without external stabilization...
I dont know any camera i would rather buy than the gh6 at this price. No other camera in this ranges comes even close with this feature set and this image quality.
Armando you said to ask for more GH6 content. Yes! I want more GH6 Content! I purchased this camera when it first came out. I actually got the free perks during that promotion. However, the jury is still out, if I actually like it. I want to see people like you & your crew make something worth while with it.
My dream camera!!! How I wish I could have that cam soon. Really love doing short films. Lumix has always been my first love over the other products. Thank you for sharing your insights about this Model 😊❤ wanna see more sample shots and clips of GH6 🙏
Hi@@mondobytes I want to know your opinion on canon R5c . I was c200 , Nikon D810 , D500 shooter . I got into an accident with c200 and had to sell it unfortunately. So looking to upgrade my gears totally, gonna sell my Nikon gears soon. I'm thinking about getting either canon r5c and r6/r5 or Sony fx3 and Sony a9iii(if it releases this year) else a9ii . I want to buy canon R5c (coz I already have a lot of ef lenses) but I'm worried that video af and dynamic range might not be as good as Sony fx3. I shoot weddings,events,fashion, sports.
Many thanks for actually going out and shoot something with it, Beardo :) Looks stunning. I mean the footage... and the beard too of course. But I am mostly here for the footage. Subscribed.
Thank you for this video!! I’ve watched numerous GH6 videos and your footage looked the most cinematic by far. It reminds me that even a great tool is limited by the skill of its user. Please make more videos discussing how to most effectively use the GH6.
This seems to be a good middle ground between a DSLR body style camera and a true cinema or production camera. Not quite up to snuff with a studio camera, because the adapters and rig you would have to build on it would be pretty extensive, but this is a great camera!
Wow I was thinking of in investing in black magic 6K Pro or the Panasonic SH1but look at all the specs the GH6 is now catching my attention. I’ve use the GH4 and still do for so many years and I always love the Panasonic system. I’ve rented other cameras the black magic the red ,Sony but Panasonic is really cool.
Panasonic "Autofocus" is solely the reason why I am still on the fence. In my collection, I have the GH1, GH2 (hack) GH3, GH4, Sony a7iii, Sony a7sii, and Sony a7siii. I use the Sony daily for work and it has got me through the years, and when I am traveling for fun, I like to leave the Sony at home, its for more professional work and I take the Panasonic lineup with me. But ever since I got little ones, 5 and 7 years old, the Panasonic lineup is just sitting in a box. My little ones run around fast, they jump, roll, whatever little ones do (sorry, manual focus is out of the question), Panasonic can never keep up with them, and every video clip I have of them is just out of focus, 10 clips, maybe 1 is usable, I don't have that problem with the Sony a7iii or a7siii, 10 clips, 10 usable. I love the skin tone that I get out of the Panasonic, love how the highlights just roll off the skin smoothly, but if its out of focus, not usable. I was hoping Panasonic will improved on their autofocus, sadly, I am still on the fence and happy with my Sony a7siii.
I completely agree with you on this. This GH6 is amazing with so many incredible little details that would make the life of doing video work so incredibly smooth...but the autofocus still needs work and that is still a deal breaker for me. If Panasonic ever nails autofocus, Sony and Cannon will shake in their boots and I'll be there to get a Panasonic.
Curious..? If Sony with their AF, FF, and Skin Tones are to your liking, why constantly with one eye over the fence… That’s quite a diatribe about how Sony does it for you and Panasonic does not… …
@@Superz3ro No perfect camera. I choose Panasonic for color and inbody stabilization. I love to shoot handheld, and not many cameras are steady enough to shoot completely handheld with the camera in motion.
Excellent work. Ok, I have a question. At 01:47 you said it as it is, so many people hate the side hinged pull out screen and this tilt option is perfect. So why oh why oh why does every blinking TH-camr go on and on and on telling us that the flip out screen is the bees knees, when it’s simply not. They are the reason we are burdened with this screen now (Lumix S5/Sony A7Siii/A7iv/Fujifilm X-T4 and all the Canon’s. Thank you.
I love my gh6 since I upgraded from gh3. I mostly film son's soccer games and some photos. Only downside I see is pulsing effect in some videos 4k60fps.
i have a gh1 which stopped focusing correctly in the view finder so i already had 2 lenses. i got the gh6 refresh in like new condition for 1800 body only. pretty sweet upgrade ;)
@@royaltykidstv battery life is meh. battery charging not fast. auto focus isnt magically perfect but that might be a learning curve thing. its chonkier than the gh1. picture and video wise its obviously light years ahead of the gh1. its top tier in video and pics are by my eye excellent though if you rank sort it by other dslrs its not top tier but thats like pixel/bit level nit picking kind of stuff from my POV
Great vid. Thanks. I would like to see a comparison with the BMC 6k PRO, I own one now. The image is just so stunning. Before that I had the GH5. So a comparison with this camera would be awesome!
Great review! If you don't mind, could you tell us which cage you're using for the GH6? Specifically at 1:51. I've bought two GH6s for my work and that cage looks awesome!
I am getting a new camera I normally shoot short film, documentaries what would be the best option, price wise they are preety much similar.I really love your thought .
Nice video Armando! Looks like an interesting camera. Not for me mainly due to sensor size, but still definitely capable of a great image. Also…beard game strong in this video! 🧔♂️
I have a feeling it wouldn't do that well. Low light and bokeh is MFTs shortfall. If you want to shoot everything in broad daylight with F22 or higher, they are an okay choice.

The only reason that could prevent me from buying is the HDR bracketing settings called AEB. The GH4 shot brackets of 3,5, and 7 in increments of 1 EV or smaller. It needs to have steps of at least 2 EV for real estate. Could you tell me if the GH6 has AEB 5 @ 2EV??
When will Panasonic release an EF adapter/speedbooster instead of conceding that insane business to the ridiculously expensive (& doubly so outside the US) Metabones ?
I agree, that is why the Viltrox EF-M2II is so great, especially since most of my Cinema Lenses are manual anyway. However, M.Zuiko Pro glass like the f1.2’s are equally as good in my opinion and the f2.8 zooms are not bad either… 😏
Hey, I got my GH6 today. I wanted to import my raw files into Lightroom but it says "does not support this file". Is this why the camera is so new and Adobe just needs new updates?
@@mondobytes im considering buying it but that cfexpress B cards are too expensive. Already has 256gb cfast on BMPCC but it wont work :) if That samsung t5 feature comes to this camera im gonna buy it i guess
GH6 is fantastic! I've been using it for a couple of years now. Stabilization was one of the big reasons I got it.

Solid review. The GH6 doesn’t have that oversharpened look of the GH5. Looks more organic.
The GH5 can look more organic if you lower the sharpness and contrast. Most default camera settings are nasty...
Best review out there. Perfect for filmmakers to watch.
I wasn't ready for the beard, Armando.
A love your work bro.. watching here all the way from Africa Malawi 💥
Yes to more GH6 Content...
Whoah this Camera is awesome and dope review. Thanks man for the good job done 👍🏼

Hi Armando this is mohan from India.. it was good review of gh6 in this year. Thank you bro
yay! Great review!!!
Nice Armando as always you get a 👍🏼
Very nice review. When I was just thinking of switching to Sony, the gh6 got me thinking now.
Price is impressive, The way you broke it down was more impressive tho
Best GH6 review-thanks!
More content on the GH6 please
My Goshhhhh🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent! Please do more GH6 test footages.
This seems to be a good middle ground between a DSLR body style camera and a true cinema or production camera. Not quite up to snuff with a studio camera, because the adapters and rig you would have to build on it would be pretty extensive, but this is a great camera!
Haven't shot Panny since the GH3 but this GH6 looks very impressive!
Yes more GH6 videos!
The Panasonic 10-25mm and the new OM1 is also very tempting.

Excellent review
MetallicA and beard!!! hahaha amazing!
Thanks for the review!
you can adapt full fram lenses from canon to the Gh6 ?
If you are surprised by the highlight rolloff of the Gh6 you should see the S5 /S1H!
Does it have false colour built in? How was rolling shutter?

Amazing review. I'm planning to get a GH6 as my B cam along with Canon R5. Do you think both colour science will match or even a near match?
With DR Boost On and ISO 2000, how many stops ND or VND filter do we need? Thanks for the video.
Could you offer a MASTERCLASS in a near future,because ,as a prosumer wanting to buy this camera, I should benefit of your huge didactic talent?

how does it stack up with the GH5S please?

How does dynamic range compare with the s5? The highlight rolloffs on the S series is also really
