“Cinema 4K up to 120 frames per second but for both those headline features you're going to need an atomos ninja 5 plus for commoners like myself with the lowly ninja 5 there you're going to be able to do 5.7 K up to 30 frames per second and you can do Cinema 4K up to 60 frames per second” — DPReview TV

“to get improved dynamic range now the panasonic gh6 does have some potential when it comes to fast shooting for sports and action and photography first off i mean the mechanical shutter can shoot up to 14 frames per second that's pretty impressive and in electronic shutter mode it can push 75 which…” — DPReview TV
Handling

“test is to see whether the af system can settle on a subject without fluttering back and forth a really tough test for af stickiness is having some bokeh balls in the background as these can flutter in size and that really gives the game away this has always been an achilles heel for panasonic's af…” — Gordon Laing
Mount Compatibility
13 pos · 17 neu · 6 neg
“be able to achieve tighter field of views aka longer zooms because of the size of the sensor as with loads of mirrors cameras now the short flange that mft cameras offer paired with the smaller sensor means you have an incredible amount of lenses to choose from all the way from vintage to full…” — CVP
