According to latest rumors coming from trusted rumor mill. Panasonic GH6 camera may use 35mm / Fullframe sensor. Take a look at the rumored specification of the camera coming straight out from rumor mill.
– There seem to be discussion that next GH will have a Super 35 sensor (full size to be enabled by key),
– higher resolution (33 MP frames required for 8K)
– special pixel binning algorithm for low light applications
– Dual ISO (We have seen inside GH5s not new)
— end of rumor part —-
See, from this rumor it’s very clear that from M4/3 system the entire GH series will jump to FF system.
What will happen is we use M4/3 Lenses on a FF sensor.
- Firstly, yes, you would get a crop, or it’s better to say you will only use “partial” FF sensor
- M4/3 lenses vignette in FF mode (big issue)
So, if GH series camera will have a FF sensor inside then they have to Make these basic changes to existing M4/3 camera. That includes Introduction of Mode Selector – FF Mode – M4/3 Mode as well as introduction of L-Mount in GH series camera.
If this rumor is true than literally a GH series will become a Half-cooked S1 series camera.
I don’t think this rumor is true.
And finally some definitions (food for thought)
Pixel Binning vs. Skipping vs Oversampling
- Binning is the combining of photosite sensor values as they’re read from the sensor and then sent to the demosaicing process.
- Skipping is literally skipping over some sensor values.
- Oversampling is reading more pixels than the final output format supports, and uses Downsampling, or scaling, to combine values, which is done after demosaicing.

Panasonic Confirmed Russian Photograpbyblog [photar.ru] in an interview that “We will develop the LUMIX G series further” when asked about status of Panasonic GH6 camera. Take a look at the other main parts of the interview, translated by google
2500 dollars for the base model Panasonic S1. Why so expensive?
Do not forget that the S1 outperforms its competitors in a number of characteristics. An expensive camera or not will show the market.
Many users, as we see from the comments under the news on our site, felt deceived because the recording of 4K 60 fps Panasonic S1 can be carried out only in the crop matrix mode.
– In S1, really when recording 4K 60k / s, the crop goes – 1.51x. It turns out APS-C. This camera has a time limiter for recording in all modes except 4K 60k / s, in which it writes 30 minutes, in the others it is not limited. There is a S1R– she has a crock of 1.05 x, she takes an image almost from a full sensor. But there is a limit of 15 minutes.
Is there an understanding of what stage the development of the next M4 / 3 camera is at? When Panasonic GH6 Coming?
Is there an understanding of what stage the development of the next M4 / 3 camera is at?

Panasonic GH6 is model will going to feature 6k OR 8k video inside it is a very big question standing in our front just after the announcement of Panasonic GH5 camera.
Past mention
In an article 1 year ago we have published that Panasonic is keeping eye on 8K Video, While announcing Panasonic G7 camera the issued a statement that
“Panasonic announced plans for future 4K and 8K video and photo features, including 4K at 60fps and 120fps, as well as the ability to take 33 megapixel still images from 8K video footage. They say they are planning to have this technology ready for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games. No further information was given at the time.“
If the camera records 8K video that also means you can capture 33 megapixel still images from 8K video footage. So a sensor has to at least 33+ MP.
Panasonic GH6K – Past footprints and future talk
Panasonic announced GH5 development announcement on Photokina 2016. But, the camera officially announced on January 2017, and Panasonic also promised future firmware updates that will expected to be announced on April 2017, to enhance the overall capability of the camera. Having said that, isn’t it too early to expect a GH series camera next year ? However, if Panasonic runs on schedule then we will sure see Panasonic GH6 camera on Photokina 2018
KineMax and Red Dragon to soon get serious competitor ?, let’s take a look at the trend of camera announcement
Possibility #1
- GH1 – 2009
- GH2 – 2010
- GH3 – 2012
- GH4 – 2014
- GH5 – 2016 – 4K
- GH6 – 2018 – 6K
- GH7 – 2020 – 8K
Another Possibility… Panasonic GH6 with 8K
Recent Statement from Panasonic via DCWATCH
In an interview to DC WATCH Panasonic confirmed (translated text from Japanes)
In the speech when GH 5 development was announced with Photokina 2016, I presented the world of 8 K after 4 K as a future image. I think that this will be received in a certain way in normal evolution. However, 8K is 16 times the number of pixels of full HD, and the frame rate also evolves from 60p to 120p so far. Clearly, you can describe a world that human eyes can not pursue.
Panasonic talking confidently to put a 8K mirrorless camera on Market before or after 2020 Olympics, fact of the matter is if we look at the Olympics schedule the we will find the 2020 Olympics opening ceremony is on 24th July 2020 and Closing ceremony is on 9th August 2020.
Possibility #2
- GH1 – 2009
- GH2 – 2010
- GH3 – 2012
- GH4 – 2014
- GH5 – 2016 – 4K
- GH6 – 2018 – 8K (development announcement on Photokina)
- GH6 – 2019 – 8K (official announcement)
That clearly means Panasonic should announce a camera at the beginning / Q1 of 2020. So, there is a big possibility that Panasonic may skip 6K mirrorless GH series camera and directly announce a 8K capable camera sometime in 2019. Of course, we will see 8K camera development announcement on 2018 Photkina event.

The best part is while recording 6K video the every frame you record is of 16 Megapixels, so you can grab 16 Mp stills from 6K video anytime you want.

Toward 8K correspondence, it was undertaken on the development of next-generation image processing large-scale integrated circuit (LSI) “10th generation high-speed image processing Venus Engine”.
the Japanese newspaper is talking about Large-scale integration (LSI) chip, LSI chip is known as image processor in camera, the traditional LSI chip is made by integrating 1000 or more of transistors on a single silicon semiconductor microchip…now world has changed … the old LSI technology is replaced by very large-scale integration (VLSI) and ultra large-scale integration (ULSI) technologies, Panasonic may have adopted ultra large-scale integration (ULSI) technologies to build the new image processing engine to support 8k.
