The Panasonic Lumix G6 follows the G5 as an entry-level Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera less than a year after the G5 was announced. The G6 features a 16.05MP sensor, 3-inch touch screen display and an EVF. It will capture up to 1080/60p HD video in either MP4 or AVCHD.
The G6 also features WiFi and NFC connectivity for connecting to mobile devices using Panasonic’s “Image App”. [Read more…]

I would expect a rather incremental upgrade for the G6 since the flagship Panasonic Lumix GH3 also sports a 16.05MP sensor and 1080/60p video. [Read more…]
Adorama is now stocking SLR Magic’s line of lenses, including the Noktor 50mm f/0.95 HyperPrime lens and the new Noktor 35mm T 0.95 HyperPrime Cine lens. There are plenty of cool Micro Four Thirds, Sony E-Mount and other lens mount options from SLR Magic.
These ridiculously fast primes could also turn out to be solid mates for the upcoming Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, along with the 12mm T/1.6 lens, which works out to roughly 36mm field of view equivalent on the Super 16 sensor of the BPCC.
