Panasonic Lumix GF6 Review

By Steve Zones


As the owner of the brand new Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera, I've observed many great things and a few downsides related to the new device. Overall it is a great entry-level camera for an amateur or hobby photographer. The Lumix GF6 is the most sleek and stylish camera in the entire family. Since it boasts a 16 mega-pixel lens it can take and create photos that are on par with a lot more expensive cameras. During my brief time of ownership of the GF6 I have noticed lots of things that are very positive about the camera.

Panasonic Lumix GF6 Characteristics:

There are lots of features incorporated into the Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera that make it an incredible model for the entry-level or hobby photographer. Since the purchase price is set between $600-$700 this camera is affordable by the entry-level hobby photographer. In spite of the low price the camera carries a 16 megapixel lens for high-resolution pictures and video. The camera makes use of a MOS sensor which helps the lens take really clear photos every time.

There are lots of other functions on the GF6 that set it apart from the competition. The leading rival is the Olympus PEN Mini E-PM2. You can simply complete stop motion animation projects with the GF6 using the new stop motion animation feature. This permits you to take a very rapid group of photos of the same subject so you can piece them together to create a unique animation. The camera also incorporates 19 unique filter effects that allow 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.

Probably the most interesting and useful highlights of the brand new Panasonic Lumix GF6 include its Wi-Fi abilities and NFC (near field communication) abilities. Using these features a person has the ability to link their smartphone or tablet to the camera, which makes it less difficult and more easy to share pictures and video with family and friends. This technology can help you use your smartphone, tablet or laptop as a remote shutter device, making 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.

Advantages

Listed below are some of the most popular advantages of the Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera I have noticed during my short time of possession:

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

In general the Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera is a superb 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, multitude of various camera angles and processes, and the stop-motion animation feature makes this a great all-around camera for a relatively low price.
