Canon EOS R6 Mark II vs Panasonic Lumix GH6
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Battery life (CIPA): the R6 II leads at 760 shots (LCD) / 450 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, power saving mode, at 23°C vs the GH6's Approx. 330 images (CFexpress with H-ES12060).
- EVF magnification: the GH6 leads at Approx. 1.52x / 0.76x (35mm camera equivalent) vs the R6 II's 0.76x.
- Burst — electronic: the GH6 leads at SH75: 75 frames/sec (AFS/MF) vs the R6 II's 40 fps (electronic shutter); RAW Burst 30 fps.

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
