Panasonic Lumix GF6 Reviews

By Steve Zones


As the one who owns the new Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera, I have seen many great things and a few negatives associated with the new device. Overall it is a great entry-level camera for an amateur or hobby photographer. The Lumix GF6 is considered the most sleek and stylish camera in the family. Since it boasts a 16 mega-pixel lens it will take and create photos which are on par with a lot more expensive cameras. During my short time of ownership of the GF6 I've noticed several 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 high-speed Light Speed AF (auto-focus) feature allows for rapid pictures of moving objects with very little time required for refocusing. The low light AF feature permits the camera to take clear pictures of any object even just in low-light situations. The camera has the ability to shoot pictures after a half-second of powering up, meaning you'll always have you camera ready to catch those incredible moments.

Some of the most interesting and useful highlights of the new Panasonic Lumix GF6 include its Wi-Fi abilities and NFC (near field communication) capabilities. Using these characteristics an individual is able to link their mobile phone or tablet to the camera, making it easier and much more easy to share pictures and video with family and friends. This technology makes it possible to use your smart phone, tablet or laptop as a remote shutter device, rendering it extremely quick and easy to view your captured photos in high-resolution. The moment transfer function enables newly taken photos to instantly be transferred to your wireless devices, assuming the digital camera is near a Wi-Fi connection.

Advantages

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

16 Mega-pixel MOS Sensor - Unlike other cameras in similar price tags that contain an inferior or inexpensive camera and lens combination, the GF6 utilizes an extremely effective and efficient 16 mp MOS sensor lens solution. This new lens enables a number of picture effects such as 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 straight to your smart phone, tablet or mobile pc. This will make it very quick and easy to share your newly taken photos together with your relatives and buddies, and it makes looking after 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.

Conclusion

Over-all the Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera is a good device for the amateur photographer or hobby photographer who wants an entry-level camera that is capable of competing with far more expensive cameras. The Wi-Fi connectivity, great number of camera angles and functions, and the stop-motion animation feature makes this a great all-around camera for a relatively low price.
