Panasonic Lumix GF6
Panasonic's Lumix GF6 is packed with all the firm's latest technology, including Wi-Fi, GPS and NFC. There's a handy new zoom control on the camera body (for use with X-series lenses), a high-end sensor has arrived, and the capacitive touchscreen can be flipped up 180° for easy self-portraits. On top of that, the GF6 is a speedy snapper that's sure to capture the action! All that's missing is a viewfinder.
