Panasonic have a habit of releasing cameras that are two steps forward and one step back compared with their predecessor. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will be a clear, if incremental, improvement over the GX9, and doesn't try to "fix" things that aren't broken.

Sure, for some of their lower-end stuff they have on occasion.

GF1->GF2->GF3

GX7->GX85/80

and depending on how you look at it, GX8->GX9 though I consider the GX9 more of an update to GX85.

etc.

but certainly not for the GHx series, nor the G9. Those moved a few steps forward each time.

A nicer EVF would be appreciated, but personally I find the current one perfectly usable. For me improved AFC would be a higher priority.

AFC is certainly a priority but the EVF hasn't changed since 2013 (GX7) and wasn't all that impressive back then let alone now.

The only thing that would completely kill my interest in it would be if they replaced the tilt screen with a side articulated one. I think I'd start seriously looking for a different camera system if there was no tilt screen upgrade option likely in the future.

For a smaller bodied GX10, sure, a FAS is probably not warranted but if the GX10 is an actual GX8 replacement (yeah, won't be, I know, but I can dream), then I would prefer a FAS.
