Key Advantages

The Panasonic LUMIX GH6 offers unlimited video recording time, a standout feature for video professionals. Its 25.2MP sensor delivers high-resolution image capture with outstanding detail. The Leica DG Vario-Summilux lens enhances optical performance with bright apertures and minimal distortion. Advanced 5-axis in-body image stabilization reduces camera shake across both photo and video modes. The robust magnesium alloy weather-sealed body ensures durability in diverse shooting conditions. Additionally, it supports professional video formats including 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording for superior color depth.

Limitations

Despite being feature-rich, the high resolution sensor size remains Micro Four Thirds, which can impact low-light performance compared to larger full-frame sensors. The lens ecosystem, while extensive, may offer fewer native options than full-frame systems. Battery life can be limiting during extended video shoots without external power solutions. While video functions are advanced, newcomers may face a steep learning curve configuring settings. The camera body is relatively large and heavy for a Micro Four Thirds system. Finally, high-performance features come with a premium price point, which may be prohibitive for some users.
