Development on the Panasonic LUMIX GH6 was announced in May 2021. Now we’re days away from the full reveal.
Will the new flagship Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera from Panasonic resuscitate the nearly dead sensor standard?
The Micro Four Thirds sensor was foundational to the success of early mirrorless cameras. It was small enough for processors to inch out great quality but large enough to make use of APS-C and full-frame lenses.
While the sensor standard was released by Olympus and Panasonic, many other manufacturers used it in their cameras—Blackmagic, DJI, and even Kodak to name a few.
But as processing power has increased, mirrorless cameras are embracing the APS-C and full-frame formats. Fuji even released a cropped medium-format camera.
However, on Feb. 21, 2022, Panasonic is set to unveil the LUMIX GH6. Will the new high-speed sensor and a new processing engine be enough to keep Micro Four Thirds in the spotlight?
