Panasonic Lumix GF6 Review

By Steve Zones


As the owner of the latest Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera, I have observed many great things and a few drawbacks associated with the new device. Overall it is a great entry-level camera for an amateur or hobby photographer. The Lumix GF6 is regarded as the lightweight camera in the entire family. Since it has a 16 mega-pixel lens it can take and create photos that are on par with a lot more expensive cameras. During my short time of ownership of the GF6 I have noticed many things which are very positive about the camera.

Panasonic Lumix GF6 Features:

There are several features built into the Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera that make it a great model for the entry-level or hobby photographer. Because the price is set between $600-$700 this camera is affordable by the entry-level hobby photographer. Despite the low price the camera boasts a 16 megapixel lens for top quality pictures and video. The camera employs a MOS sensor which helps the lens take crystal clear photos each time.

There are several other functions on the GF6 that set it apart from the competition. The leading rival being the Olympus PEN Mini E-PM2. You can certainly complete stop motion animation projects with the GF6 using the new stop motion animation feature. This allows you to take a very rapid number of photos of the same subject so that you can piece them together to generate a unique animation. The camera also incorporates 19 unique filter effects that enable you to customize your photos in a variety of ways.

The top speed Light Speed AF (auto focus) feature permits rapid pictures of moving objects with short amount of time needed for refocusing. The low light AF feature permits the camera to take clear pictures of any object even in low-light situations. The camera has the ability to shoot pictures after a half-second of powering up, meaning you'll usually have you camera ready to capture those extraordinary moments.

One of the most interesting and useful features of the new Panasonic Lumix GF6 include its Wi-Fi features and NFC (near field communication) abilities. Using these characteristics an individual has the ability to connect their smart phone or tablet to the camera, making it easier plus more useful to share pictures and video with friends and family. This technology makes it possible to make use of smart phone, tablet or laptop as a remote shutter device, rendering it extremely easy and quick to view your captured photos in high-definition. The instant transfer function allows for newly taken photos to instantly be transferred to your wireless devices, assuming the camera is near a Wi-Fi connection.

Pros

Below are some of the biggest advantages of the Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera I have noticed within my short time of ownership:

16 Megapixel MOS Sensor - Unlike other cameras in similar selling prices that incorporate a low quality or low-cost camera and lens combination, the GF6 uses an extremely effective and effective 16 mega-pixel MOS sensor lens solution. This new lens enables a number of picture effectssuch ase stop motion animation, low-light shots and shadow and highlight effects.

Wi-Fi access - Because the camera incorporates Wi-Fi access you can quickly and easily share and host your photos from your camera directly to your smartphone, tablet or mobile computer. This makes it very quick and easy to share your newly taken photos with your family and friends, and it makes maintaining your online portfolio a breeze.

Variety of shooting functions - Perhaps the biggest edge related to the GF6 is the wide array of shooting functions on the camera. The camera includes a self-shot mode that makes taking self-portraits very easy and fun. The rear-facing camera makes aiming and framing the shot fast and simple. The stop motion animation function allows for an instant series of photos to be taken of a moving scene or object, creating a unique and cool stop motion series.
