Panasonic GH6 v Panasonic GH5 specification comparison, let’s talk about the major difference between the two cameras.
Panasonic GH6 v Panasonic GH5, new 25.2-megapixel Live MOS Sensor boasts high-resolution, high-speed signal readout and wide dynamic range.
The LUMIX GH6 contains V-Log/V-Gamut – a first for LUMIX G Micro Four Thirds cameras – and provides 12+ stops and even 13+ stops of wide dynamic range using Dynamic Range Boost mode

New Major Features in Panasonic GH6 camera
- The GH6 is based around a completely new sensor: the highest resolution chip we’ve yet seen in the Four Thirds sensor size.
- New to the GH6 is the option to shoot in Apple ProRes 422 HQ and 422 formats. At first the camera’s ProRes modes will only be available for 5.7K capture, but DCI 4K and FullHD support will be added in firmware, due later in 2022.
- Camera’s 8-shot high-resolution mode, which delivers 50 or 100MP images,
- GH6’s noise reduction has been updated
- DFD is Updated and does very well in still mode, works best in Full HD 60p mode.
- Magnified live view while recording video
- Fan to extend the recording time limit of 4:2:2 10-bit 4K at up to 60p.
