Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 Key Specification :

• 16.1 megapixels
• Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm) CMOS SENSOR
• ISO 160 - 25600
• 23 Number of focus points
• 3″ Fully articulated LCD Screen

The G6 will available at price $749.99 (RM 2250 after converted).

My Opinion : They call G6 as GH2.5 since it sit in between GH2 and GH3. Yes it has all video capability from GH2. It would be a very nice addition to those who are major more on videograph.
