If you have been patiently waiting for the arrival of Panasonic GH6, which we’ve been told, in May, is expected “by year’s end”, we fear that’s bad news: The highly anticipated successor to the GH5 “is expected to be delayed .” This is Panasonic’s announcement, translated by Google from Japanese:
Announcement about LUMIX GH6
Thank you for your continued patronage of Panasonic products.
Regarding the “LUMIX GH6” mirrorless single-lens camera, developed and announced on May 26, 2021, we are aiming for commercialization in 2021, but that is expected to be delayed. they eat.
Currently, we are aiming for commercialization in early 2022.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to customers who have been waiting for this product. Deeply sorry.

Unfortunately, “We are currently aiming for commercialization in early 2022” does not generate great confidence and if the problem related to the chip shortage is causing more and more cameras of the different brands, it’s anyone’s guess how “early next year” we’ll see the GH6 appear. At this point, the best advice might be to just relax and enjoy the holidays — and pray hard.
