A bit OT, but can I just say that I have absolutely no idea why Panasonic decides to not including USB charging on this camera whereas GX85 got it.....

The way of USB chaging (in-camera) of GX85 IMHO is not conveince at all. It would be out of operation on charging!

I bought an external Dual Channel USB charger and now I can charge batteries by USB extenral power bank in my camera bag while shooting with a spare battery. Theoricially I can bring less spare batteries with me now. No more late night charging after return to hotel room.
