I originally wrote the review below for the GF5. The GF6 has everything I wanted in the GF5 and then some. The three things about the GF5 that bugged me most were the pressure-sensitive touch screen, lack of a zoom lever and not enough function buttons. Well, they did change the touch screen to capacitive and it is now so much more responsive. It’s less sensitive to fingerprints since you don’t have to push. I would recommend Panasonic GF6 camera for everyone. It is versatile. It is small enough for a pocket, but gives you all of the advantages of an SLR. It is easy enough for those looking for a point and shoot but complex enough for professionals with various manual exposure options.
Q: “I have some mts and mp4 files from Panasonic GF6; was wondering if these 1920×1080 HD Videos are supported by FCP for editing directly?”
