While nothing specific on the GH6 other than they are still considering it, Panasonic did mention a new prime and “revolutionary” zoom are coming. My guess is that the zoom would be designed for video similar to the 10-25. https://www.43rumors.com/great-news-panasonic-says-new-revolutionary-mft-zoom-and-new-mft-fast-primes-are-in-the-works-along-the-gh6/

Based on information coming from OM Digital Solutions it looks like a new sensor is coming later this year in an updated E-M1X. With their renewed focus on wildlife I would think this sensor would have a faster readout like a99/a1. I would expect to see the GH6 around the same time with the same sensor. https://www.43rumors.com/qa-with-om-digital-solutions-uk-hints-a-new-high-end-e-m1xii-might-be-coming/

The IMX492 would be a downgrade from the existing sensor in the GH5. We would need at least the same or a faster sensor readout speed.

IBIS would become more challenging with smaller pixels. But m43 does have an advantage over FF with a smaller sensor to move around.

No link. Androidlad provided this image a year ago in another thread.

I would prefer this sensor that has much faster sensor readout.

The 4k 120p is what caught my eye. https://www.sony.jp/ichigan/products/ILCE-1/ "4:2:2 10bit 4K 120p high frame rate video recording, all pixel full size 4K readout, approximately 15+ stop wide dynamic range"

What is also amazing is that they removed the fan from the Macbook Air. So a completely passive/silent solution.

The sensor has not changed although OIS has improved and lens is a bit faster. Of course processing has made a number of improvements as well.

Geekbench is a much better benchmark of actual application performance and the initial scores are showing a 20% improvement. https://hothardware.com/news/iphone-12-pro-benchmark-geekbench-5-a14-bionic What this does not show is how the Neural Engine portion of the A14 chip went from 8 cores to 16 cores, improving that aspect of the iPhone 12 performance by 80%. There is much more to a smartphone's performance than just CPU and GPU benchmarks.

This gives us an idea of what to look forward to with the GH6. The BGH1 is a lot actually smaller and lighter than the GH5. https://photorumors.com/2020/09/30/panasonic-dc-bgh1-mft-camera-specifications-leaked-10mp-c4k60p/ DC-BGH1 10.28 MP sensor Micro Four Thirds mount C4K60P 4:2:2 10-bit RAW video (HDMI output), C4K60P 4:2:0 10-bit (H.265 / HEVC) internal recording Dual native ISO Double SD card slot Wi-Fi / Bluetooth 11800mAh VBR battery compatible Dimensions: 93 x 93 x 78mm Weight: 545g

At 8:50 of this video posted today the GH5 successor is specifically mentioned to be in development.

There are 3 pages to the interview and on page 2 it mentions that the surveillance cameras would be a mid to long term new market in addition to the existing business.

It doesn't look like the X-H2 is coming soon. https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2020/09/04/fujifilm-interview-covid-gfx-strategy-shrinking-ibis-300K-cycle-shutter
