Customer Review

Having myself Sytemkameras (with viewfinder) meißt always too big and clunky were GH1 / GH2 with 14-140mm), I stumbled some time ago about the G6_14-140Kit. This surprised me greatly in size and weight. Here Panasonic has really done a lot. The ability to take the G5Kit I turned down because of me faster autofocus and panorama mode were not unimportant.
Unfortunately, there are a few caveats, which I'm not used to from the FZ-Briges and lead to a rating withdrawal:

- Many pictures in automatic mode are simply too dark
The G6 speaks now not only the ambitionerten Amateur, working exclusively in the P / S / A / M mode, but also the Hoppyknipser who likes like also something rauschärme images in low light and little depth of field. Unfortunately, the G6 comes with difficult light conditions in brightness adjustment nich so along well as my old FZ100. Many photos need to be followed up, what I'm not used to and what I really did not expect from a camera in this price range.

- An almost unusable Panorama mode
Unfortunately I did not get any images uploaded here. But the panorama mode is its name in our camera is not worthy. Our Panorames are streaky, no transitions at change of light, but levels and at all I do now frames and put back together on the PC. Our small Casio creates what does not create the Great G6. I do not know what it is :(

- An impossible variety Program
I was already used in approaches of my FZ100. But there were a better division. That there were also several Potraitmodis that could be selected as a sub-menu but generally Potraitdmodus and activated. The G6 provides all Modis succession to scroll ready, but also has the basic not at all available. 5 Portraitmodis, 3 Nachtmodis, dog and Kindermodis but no Strandmodi, no Schneemodi, no sport modes, no Painingmodi and no Feuerwerkmodi. If I anyway everything must manually adjust the 5 Portraitmodis are also totally unnecessary ...

I bereuht to have not yet waited for the FZ1000. Apart from that, we are very satisfied with the camera. Autofocus is fast and mostly reliable. The possibility in sensi Eblen areas activate the electronic shutter very pleasant. And we are of the image quality to be convinced and very satisfied. When Fotogrfieren we barely reach their limits of what is technically possible.

Would I buy the camera again? Probably not, but the FZ1000, although to me there still lack the experience.
Would you recommend? Fans of System Cameras: Yes, Brigefans: No. Perhaps our problems also occur only at our 14-140er Kitobjektiv and a Brighter lens is better coordinated. But that should be able to compensate for the camera in my opinion better and I am not willing to use / buy other lenses.

Quiet but good. Rank: 5/5
