Panasonic Lumix GF6 leaks ahead of launch

Panasonic is holding a big event to announce their upcoming camera lineup for this year. However, one of those (if we were to assume that there are plenty) got out too soon namely the Lumix DMC-GF6 micro four-thirds interchangeable lens camera.

Along with the press shots above courtesy of Digicam.info, 43rumors.com also thrown in a very detailed info of what we can expect from this rumored camera from the specs standpoint.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 specs:
16MP Live MOS sensor

If the alleged specs is to be believed, then the GF6 is the world’s first NFC-enabled MILC. Not sure though how that will all pan out, but it’s a good talk point in terms of marketing. In addition to this, the snapper will be equipped with a handful of other nifty photography features such as a new two-dimensional and multi-process noise reduction system, faster start-up time and Low light autofocus system.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 is said to start making its way to stores in April 24 with a $680 price tag. It’ll come with the compact 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Vario lens with a built-in Optical Image Stabilization.
