Canon EOS R6 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
- Burst — electronic: the GH6 leads at SH75: 75 frames/sec (AFS/MF) vs the R6's Max. Approx. 20fps. with Electronic shutter.
- EVF magnification: the GH6 leads at Approx. 1.52x / 0.76x (35mm camera equivalent) vs the R6's Approx. 0.76x.
- In-body stabilisation: the R6 leads at Yes, up to 8-Stops advantage depending on the lens used vs the GH6's Body I.S.: 5-axis / 7.5-stop; Dual I.S. 2: 7.5-stop.
