GH6 specs at BHphoto

A source told me this about the soon to be announced new GH6:

• rolling shutter is eliminated
• Not sure if they also eliminated mechanical shutter but there is a chance for it.
• And last but not least a massive improvement in AF. It may called DFD AI. They claim that tracking is 5 times better than in GH5.

The official specs shared by Panasonic are:

• New Micro Four Thirds Sensor
• Updated Venus Engine Image Processor
• 5.7K 60p Video, 10-Bit Sampling
• DCI 4K 10-Bit 4:2:2, Unlimited Recording

A source (Thanks!) sent me this image of the new 12-40mm II lens. What can be clearly seen is that the only exterior difference to it’s predecessor is the replacement of the Olympus logo with the new OM System brand name.

UPDATE: And this is the new 40-150mm f/4.0 lens:

There will be two new lenses from OM Digital:

• M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II
• M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150mm F4.0 PRO
