Review: I've been using my Panasonic LUMIX GH6 camera for a few weeks now, and I've been really impressed with the picture quality. It's an amazing camera, the best I've ever owned! Very expensive, but oh so worth it! The Panasonic LUMIX GH6 camera is quite an impressive product. It has a lot to offer to its users, including the ability to shoot at 4K at 120fps and 5.7K at 60fps. It also got a 26.52 MP sensor and 5x optical zoom lens. These features make it an ideal choice for those looking for a high-quality camera that will help them take great photos on their adventures or in their everyday lives. The camera's body is made of magnesium alloy, which helps keep it lightweight while still being durable enough to withstand various kinds of weather conditions. It comes with Wi-Fi connectivity so you can easily transfer photos wirelessly from your camera to your computer or smartphone without having to use any physical cables or wires. You can also connect your smartphone directly to the camera through a Wi-Fi connection if you want more control over what kind of settings are used when taking photos remotely (this requires downloading an app called "LUMIX Link" onto your smartphone). I love how easy it is to use - you can literally just point and shoot, and you'll get a great shot. The controls are intuitive, so even if you're new to photography, you'll be able to figure out how to use it right away. I also love the image stabilization feature. It does such a great job of reducing blur that I rarely have to worry about taking pictures where my subject is moving around too much or has their hands in front of their face (which happens all the time with kids). Even when my kids are running around like crazy (which is pretty much always), this camera makes sure they stay in focus and look amazing in every shot. The other thing that I love about this camera is its size. It's not much bigger than my iPhone12 Pro Max (just slightly larger), so it's easy to carry around without feeling like you're lugging around a bag full of bricks all day long. Amazing camera! HIGHLY recommended!

Review: I’m very privileged to have been sent this for review - and I can only apologise in advance, as I’m not any kind of expert and I simply don’t fully understand the technical specifications. I will leave it to others, far cleverer than I am, to expound on the virtues of stops and codecs and circuits. To me, this is an absolute marvel, which allows me to create a memory in every photo or video, with remarkable clarity and definition. I’m lucky that a friend who is very expert has patiently shown me the basics and helped so much (thank you Sue!) in composition and learning to make rapid adjustments to really capture a moment in time, as well as the incredible detail that only an excellent lens can provide. This isn’t bulky or too heavy either - I have quite small hands (and arthritis) yet I can manage this easily. I started to do more photography in lockdown, with a pretty basic point and click camera I’ve had for years, and focussing (excuse the pun) on wildlife, flowers etc. Not the usual happy snappy things with someone or other gurning away front and centre, against an unidentifiable background, but something that realised the essence and wonder of nature. Oh now I sound arty and pretentious! But to be able to see the iridescent sheen of a magpie’s wing, or the velvety midnight purply blue of a pansy is so utterly amazing and now I have it on film, not just in my head. This literally changes the way I look at everything now - seeing the minuscule feathers on a robin’s little red chest when I zoomed right in (I wasn’t quick enough, he flew away before I came to my senses and actually took the photo) or videoing a butterfly is a source of amazement to me. I have a grandchild on the way and I want to be able to have those tangible memories of a tiny foot, downy hair, a little cherubic dimple as he (or she, we don’t know yet) grows up. And this little wonder provides video as well, so what could be better - I can focus, adjust, edit and create all at once, pretty much. So clever. I wouldn’t say this is intuitive to use, I do think it takes time and practice to get the best out of it - the downloadable manual has been a godsend as I’ve screenshotted sections which are the most help to me so I can refer to them quickly and easily. The booklet provided with the camera is more of a startup thing really. All this praise yet I haven’t given it 5 stars. That’s because of the cost - this is one seriously expensive piece of kit. There are a lot, and I mean really A LOT of things anyone could buy with £2.5k. It’s a quandary, as only those who are really committed to taking expert photos will buy it, yet this is actually superb for helping amateurs and beginners, like me, to learn how to create and encapsulate miniature works of art. But if you want to start and you have the money, this is the all in one, amazingly clever, easy to use (relatively), easy to hold, little piece of magic you need.
