A reader sent me this (Thanks!):

I don’t know if you just saw the last the “Easter eggs” that have been publishing in the Youtube channel of Lumix Camera with Sean.
In the video live of “LUMIX Live : Remote Workflow with Matt Frazer” there is a binary code that leads to the wikipedia page of “eastern eggs”
In the last video that have been published “LUMIX Live : Resolutions” the binary code leads to this website: https://shop.panasonic.com/lumix/countdown
So it looks like the GH6 is very close!
