Lens Kit Panasonic Lumix G

Ordered this on April 24th from Amazon - got tired of waiting and ended up getting it from Sammy's. I take well over 20,000 shots a year ( I have reached 43,000 on my G3 and its still going) I have had the GX1, G3, G5 and now the G6.

Spent a full day testing it and here are some results:

- Better than the G5 in terms of IQ and sharpness by at least 30 percent and on par with the G3 but much better colors than the latter. The image quality of the G5 was a downgrade from the G3 in my testing over the past year and I tried 3 copies of the G5 and with the 14, 20, 14-42 and 45-150 lenses.

- Better features than the G5 - more filters/WiFi/NFC/time lapse/60p video - Panasonic Image app, etc. etc.

- The LCD is very clear and very accurate just like the G3 (the G5 was horrible in colors on the screen and did not accurately represent what you were taking a picture of).

- Navigation through menus and the Touch Screen are much faster and shot to shot is faster than the G5 and G3.

- Picture Quality is very sharp even in low light (see night shot on back porch).
- The build at first seems a little more plasticky and lighter than both the G3 and G5 but after holding it and using it for a bit and picking it and carrying it around for a day, it seems the right balance - doesn't tire your hands and doesn't seem like it will break easily - oh and the battery compartment is a lot better than both the G3 and G5.

- The 14-42 Kit lens is so much smaller than the previous ones and more solid (metal) - it looks small just like the Olympus ones.

- The video is also better on the G6 than the G5 by 20 percent. Read more
