The problems inherent in little teeny-tiny pixels are well known. Some folks even have issues with the R-IV. I wouldn't touch one until we see how well Sony's programmers have resolved that issue. The A1 has more than enough resolution for any purpose. I keep hoping they'll announce a 45MP A9III. Features and speed of the A9 with reasonable resolution.
I think the OM-1 uses the quad-pixel technology but I don't the gH6 does. Could be wrong about that, but I recall when they came out the OM had the fanfare for the sensor. Easy enough to look up I reckon.
I searched on GH6 and quad pixel, and the only hits I got were the ones comparing the GH6 with the OM-1, and explaining that the GH6 did not have the quad pixel phase detect AF that the OM-1 does have.
This is all I could find, nothing about the GH6 though. I don't think Panasonic has the contract agreement with Sony semiconductor to purchase PDAF sensors yet.

Not referring to resolution as the number of pixels, but the ability of the sensor to resolve detail. Smaller pixels provide higher resolution because they can better discern contrast in an image from pixel to pixel than a sensor with larger pixels, but also present other problems such as lower light gathering, DR, etc.
Same disappointment here. I have actually shifted my focus from video back to still photography over the last 2 years and would enjoy a step up from my a6400 that is capable in both use cases... I guess I'll keep waiting.
Unfortunately, with the ILC market shrinking faster every year companies have to put their money into what's selling, which is video. Even Samyang's new releases are cine-oriented, including 'Gimbal Optimized'.
Yeah, is anyone here jazzed about it? nah.
The talk of an APSC cine camera (FX30?) is more interesting, but again, who asked for that? is it meant to be the upgrade path from the ZV1 -> ZVE10 -> FX30 ?
If the A7R-V has the same focusing as the A1/A7-IV (and there's no reason to assume it won't) it will be a beast. I am going to assume though that they'll want to remain king of the MP race and it's going to end up 80 or 100MP. We already know these pixel pitches are out there due to the 20 and 25MP M-4/3 sensors.
That's the most likely, especially with the lean toward video for low light. I could see them keeping the 9II in the catalog though and adding the 9III, look at how many cameras they still make in the 7 series. Of course the camera I'm describing is pretty much the A1 as it already is!I actually hope the A9 III stays around 24Mp, but screamingly fast.
I also hope the A7RV pundits who are saying 60Mp are wrong - I’d like to see 80 or even 100
And to answer that particular question:
Panasonic says the GH6 sensor “is not made by the manufacturer everyone thinks we use”
Yeah, I postulated in a post above. I think the G9 was a Sony, but wasn't sure about this new camera.
Yeah, I followed the link and read the somewhat rambling suggestions as to the possible source - not familiar with most of the companies named
