Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds body with a swivel touchscreen and NFC Wi-Fi
The Lumix G6 packs a 16MP Four Thirds sensor into an SLR-style body with a 1.4x electronic viewfinder (1,440,000 dots) and a fully articulated 3-inch touchscreen at 1,036,000 dots, so you can compose from the hip, overhead, or straight into a mirror without fighting the LCD. A 23-point AF system and 7.0 fps burst rate give you enough speed for casual action and street work, while shutter speeds run from 60 seconds up to 1/4000 sec for long exposures or wide-open daylight shooting.
Video shooters get full PASM control over movie capture along with a socket for an external stereo mic, plus 1080p recording at up to 60 frames per second in AVCHD or MP4. That combination of manual exposure control and outside audio input pushes this well past point-and-shoot video territory.
Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC means pairing with a compatible smartphone is as easy as a tap, using the Panasonic Image App to browse and pull images off the card at your chosen resolution, or to push files straight to a computer over a shared network. Panasonic's Lumix Club service extends that further, letting you route shots on to social platforms after uploading over Wi-Fi.
At 390g and built around the 2x crop factor of the Micro Four Thirds mount, the G6 stays light enough for all-day carry while still handling like a proper camera, with a grip that's sculpted for a secure hold. It's a body that rewards photographers who want full manual control without the bulk of a DSLR.
Who It's For
Street and travel photographers benefit from the 390g body and the 2x crop factor of the Micro Four Thirds mount, which keeps lenses compact for all-day shooting. Vloggers and run-and-gun video shooters gain from full PASM exposure control during movie capture and the external microphone socket, letting them pair the built-in stereo mic with outside audio gear. Photographers who shoot from awkward angles, macro, tabletop, or overhead crowd shots, get real use out of the fully articulated 3-inch touchscreen. Anyone building a Wi-Fi workflow will appreciate the NFC-based pairing with the Panasonic Image App for browsing and pulling images to a phone, or pushing files to a computer over a shared network via Lumix Club.

FAQ
- What autofocus system does the G6 use?
- 23-point AF system. It's not the fastest for tracking moving subjects, but it handles static composition and street work without hesitation.
- Can I control the camera remotely from my phone?
- The Panasonic Image App lets you set focus point placement, view live image, and control power zoom lenses. Full exposure control over shutter and aperture wasn't available in the app version tested.
- How does the NFC Wi-Fi pairing work?
- Tap your NFC-equipped smartphone to the camera after starting the Image App - it pairs instantly. Non-NFC phones require manual Wi-Fi selection and password entry, same as most Wi-Fi cameras.
- What video specs should I expect?
- 1080p at up to 60 fps in AVCHD or MP4, with full PASM manual exposure control and an external stereo mic socket. You get real video control, not just point-and-shoot capture.
- How long does the battery last?
- 340 shots per CIPA rating. Realistic for a mirrorless body with an electronic viewfinder - carry a spare if you're shooting all day without access to power.
- Does the touchscreen articulate?
- Fully articulated 3-inch screen at 1,036,000 dots with 100% viewfinder coverage via the 1.4x electronic viewfinder. Compose from hip level, overhead, or mirrored - LCD gives you genuine shooting flexibility.
- What's the crop factor with Micro Four Thirds lenses?
- 2x crop. A 25mm lens reads as 50mm equivalent. Keeps the body light and lenses compact, but you're giving up low-light aperture compared to full-frame.
