This will help you Frank: http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_G6/verdict.shtml Go for the G6. It's a great camera.

Thirding the question. Is there any new element and is the optical quality the same? How would a better lens be cheaper than the previous version?

It is compatible with any Micro Four Thirds lens camera, from panasonic or olympus and some others. So, just make sure that the Panasonic Lumix G6 is a Micro Four Third camera.

G15 and G16 are the same camera except g16 has wifi and hidef movie. I don't know about the sx260. I love the G16 because it takes great photos in low light situations. I've taken photos of rescue cats in their cages with just a 75 watt light overhead and they are beautiful. The focus is fast, the color tone is great. I like the dedicated movie button so you can just start shooting a movie. If you don't care about the wifi or hidef movies, you can save money by getting the G15.

Yes, it will work on your G5. Remote is generic to all of the lumix G series, including the G5. I have one and it works really well. The shutter release button is very sensitive and does not take much to set it off. Works with both single and multi frame shots. Well worth the price.

One reviewer says Vixia HF G10 owners won't find much reason to upgrade to the G20. The biggest differences are price (the G20 lists for $1099, while the G10 was about $1500), and much-improved low-light capability. Otherwise they're reportedly almost identical. I can't compare based on my own experience, but I *love* my G20!

Not that I know of....I'm not sure if you're looking at purchasing a G10. If you are I would recommend the G12 over the G10. The G12 is a newer version of the G10. It has less megapixels, but the images are much sharper and nicer than the G10. The articulating screen on the G12 is also sooooo much nicer than the G10's screen.

The new lens is smaller and lighter, performs just as well and is (or was) slightly less expensive. The downside is that is a tad slower at the long end --6.3 v. 5.6. Some say it doesn't take as sharp of pictures. I don't agree and the trade off for how much small and lighter it is, is well worth it to me. It is even lighter than my older 18-200VR. For a everyday lens that can take photos between 18 - 300, It is ideal for me. If I need sharper, I'll use a dedicated lens for that shot!

I have owned a Cannon S90 and now the Panasonic LX5. I found the S90 wasn't nearly as accurate with white balance and I also had to fiddle around with it too much to get a good pic in some situations. The LX5 while a little bigger is much easier to get a very good shot, meaning much less fiddling. And the updated 2.0 firmware makes it that much better. I'll take a little bigger size any day to get the ease of use and fantastic shots that I get with little effort. IMHO.

Probably not. The 6 has an extended lens, different from the 5. I believe the Olloclip group has already made one available for the 6.

I had no trouble making the choice for the LX3. The only real advantage of the G10 is the zoom range, and even though my previous camera was a Panasonic DMC-TZ5, with a fantastic 10x zoom, I never used it. The f/2.0 lens and the dynamic black and white mode sold me. Now that I have it I absolutely love my LX3.

Inside your home, while using the flash, your photos will be fine. The video is not so good. I own both the G11 and the more expensive G1X. G1X would be much better for the videos, and the photos would be wider in the 1080 format. G1X however is terrible for macro photos, (Close up). G1X is also larger and harder to fit in a pocket. As long as you have all the lights on in the room. The G11 will be fine.

The low light lense is a bit better. If you have the G10, don't bother with the G20 unless you want the upgrades. If you don't have the G10, get the G20, because the g20 is the fixed version of the g10. THE G30 however gets it just a little better in the mechanics department. UI, hardware, etc....but quality wise.....they are all about the same. Its the structure of the camera thats really being improved upon when they make new models. Don't waste your money unless you are one of the iphone geeks that have to have every new iphone they release...because technically, they are all the same. I have the G20 and love it.

Photos are excellent - just as good as Canon G12 and it has a lot of advanced features that G12 doesn't. The excellent touchscreen let you tap on the screen and camera focuses instantly on where you tap and takes the photo. Very intuitive. Sensor is advance backlit CMOS and with the 1.7 lens you can do much better in low light than the Canon. I've had at least five of the G's and I think the XZ-2 is every bit as good. The only thing missing that might tilt in the G12's favor is the lack of an optical or electronic viewfinder on the Olympus. However, I bought the hotshoe mountable viewfinder and use it when I need it in bright daylight. If you want good photos at a reasonable price point, the XZ-2 is a good choice.

I have not used the other cameras, so I cannot compare. I will say that I am very happy with what I have shot so far. I have no regrets buying this camera.

The GF5X has a power zoom lens, and the GF5K has a manual zoom lens. The body is the same. The power zoom lens is thinner when off than the manual lens.
