Panasonic’s GH6 development announcement comes as a sigh of relief after the lack luster leak of the GH5 Mk II specs. The GH6 looks to breath life back into the lungs of Micro Four Thirds.

Those hoping the next Panasonic MFT leak would be the GH6 will be disappointed to see it’s in fact the GH5 Mark II. We’ve never seen a “Mark II” in the GH series of cameras, so why now? Let’s take a look at the minor upgrades and what Panasonic’s strategy is.
