Do you get streaks if you shoot:

• outside at night from streetlights / signs etc?
• during the day if you get the sun just out of frame but hitting the lens?
• during the day if you get the sun in frame?

I think those are probably the only situations left that I would shoot that haven't been mentioned already.

Nope, no streaking, but I do get flares, so I do try and find an optimal place to stand. Anyway, you should really test it, just rent the camera, if possible, as everyone has different needs and use cases. My ONLY problem with the GH6 is battery life, 4k 60p 4:2:2 runs for around 1:15 hours, when the battery starts flashing, and I still havent found a reliable way to power the camera on the go without using the usb-c port.

It's not a direct answer, but I've heard mixed results from people who've used non OEM batteries and couplers, but haven't used them myself.

Yeah, I've read about the mixed results, so I am not sure. I don't know if the original dcc17 can be connected to a powerbank, or if it can be connected only to a wall socket.

I shoot in some challenging dynamic range scenes, hard light/sun backlit scenes in forests etc, and haven't encountered any streaking. I am sure I could make it appear if I wanted to, but on real life it is a non issue. I do expose correctly, if that is helpful.

I am sorry to repeat the question, but is the dcc12 coupler fully compatible with the GH6? I am looking to power the camera with a powerbank, and not have to haul 4-5 batteries. 

The usb-c port is reserved for ssd recording.

I am wondering about the dummy battery options out there. Do the dcc12 dummy batteries work without issues with the GH6? Cfexpress cards are too expensive with less capacity than ssd's, so I am planning to use the usb-c port for ssd use, and not for powering the camera.
