About this product:
Since an item can be marked as "Open Box" for many different reasons (i.e., returned without original packaging, writing on the original packaging, or manuals, packaging and items opened and tested) they may not include all accessories, manuals or original packaging. We recommend that you inspect and test the product immediately upon receipt. Open Box items are covered under original manufacturer's warranty.
Note, in title it says open box, but when you look at kit show details, it doesn't say open box, so it might be new I went with open box, just to be safe
Seems like a good deal but store likely have only a couple of bodies. Plus since Lumix introduced phase detect autofocus it's better to wait for a new mft system with hybrid autofocus unless you don't need autofocus
1st. GH6 has a lot more pro video functions that OM-D doesn't have, such as slow motion 120 fps, ProRes 422, ssd direct recording, V-Log. they don't compete at all if you doing video anything.
2nd. Olympus OM-D is dead. it is now OM systems. what does OM systems has resource wise? none. the OM series is now in limbo, like pentax. expect very few firmware updates, very few hardware updates aside form whatever that was developed when the brand was still under olympus.
i like the OMD system, and i have an extensive collection of their lenses, but i just cannot recommand om system to anyone with 1. MFT now cost as much as APS-C and sometimes FF, 2. APS-C and FF body is just as small, and equivalent lens is just as light. and 3. OMD is essential dead.
Bought this when it came out over a year ago. Autofocus on this was much improved from previous lumix cameras. Yes it's not phase detect but it is very close. I have no problem with interviews with autofocus. Every now and then I may lose a shot but I had that with my phase detect Sony's as well.
Pro's:
-Image stabilization is best in the business.
-4k 120, 1080p 300fps
-Records direct 4k Pro-Res and Carrie's internal LUTs.
-Color science and skin tones are really good.
-Great Ergos
-Never overheats
Cons:
-Should have been released with Phase Detect AF.
-Body is on the large side with internal cooling system

I'm a big fan of the Olympus OM-D in the mirrorless mft category - suggest waiting for a deal for some version of that body for a similar amount instead of this Panasonic

I need autofocus; I don't need the best continuous AF.
@bjamieson I historically loved my Olympus bodies, excellent jpeg color, and yes they were first to do a hybrid with both contrast-detect and phase-detect AF, but Panasonic's color reproduction has become significantly more pleasant (imo) in the past two generations, and they have some of their own strengths (mostly in video production, but also the tactile feel of operating their hardware). I hope both the OM System and LUMIX mft cameras continue!

OM Systems is still making cameras and lenses and sending out updates, not sure where you got the idea that is like Pentax now.
Now in terms of recommending, to each his own, but the system isn't dead, just depends on if it fits what you are looking for.
I'd say everyone should always compare prices of what lenses they want, etc to see if it makes sense. MFT will still give you the best bag for buck when it comes to shooting with long focal lengths for example. Macro is still a place it will be very effective and can be cheaper than others (with the very good 60mm) if that is something you do.
You still have the best options for very small camera and lens combinations. There are still lenses (75mm f1.8, 35-100mm f/2.8 etc) which don't have equivalent matches for size and performance in other systems. So if those things or something like birding is your thing, it can serve you well and better than others.
I picked up this camera with the 12-60 leica as my first camera from best buy a few months ago for $1700+tax . It was a display model open box but was practically new, it's great! Lumix also offers free 4 year warranty. Has a lot of settings and video recording formats. Auto focus is decent. Picture quality is very good too. Can record 5.8k open gate. Also 5.7k 60fps, 4k 120fps, 1080p 300fps. Highly recommend it.

Most companies won't let retailers sell them for a certain amount new. So if it's a kit, they'll break up the kit and sell the body and lens separate and lower the price and call it "open box" item. Chances are these are brand new.

Thank you for the additional details. Do you know if this is comparable to a Sony a7 III OR IV?

GH6 is using outfocus Gen 2 autofocus, more people are abandoning the GH system. The S line is getting Phase detect. It does have niche use especially with a metabones speed booster for low light and as a b camera.
GH6(1/5 AF) = A7S2, A7-2
Look at the Canon RP(3/5 AF) for $600, Canon R8 $1500 (5/5 AF), Canon M50 (2/5 AF)
Nikon Z50 (4/5 AF), Sony A7C(4/5 AF), Sony A6600 (4/5 AF)

Forget that guy.. I'm waiting for my omd-em10 mark iv to come in the mail
Olympus cameras rock .. om so far has done nothing too crazy with new cameras outside of branding away from Olympus to OM
Will wait for newer versions in the next year to know how the ecosystem will hold up

Premium cost but their lens system is generally cheaper? They're a huge advocate for 3rd party lenses. So I guess it's a pick your poison situation.
