The other thing and I don't know why camera companies keep on doing it but I can sort of understand is why not supply a prime with the camera bundle rather than a kit zoom all the time?

Panasonic has done this at least twice: 20/1.7 + GF1 and 14/2.5 + GF2. So maybe there's a little hope that they'll revive the practice...

Pairing the GX9 with the 12-60 seemed a bit strange. Maybe they had more 12-60's than they knew what to do with.

I personally think a 10mm or 17mm makes a lot of sense to pair with the GX10 because if the camera is similar to the GX7, GX80 and GX9, these more personal or travel camera.

A rectilinear UWA prime (8, 9 or 10mm) is the biggest hole in the lineup IMO. Make it a  pancake f2 or faster, and I'll be plunged into full-on GAS mode. Not sure if Panasonic would make a new 17, since there are already options at that focal length and Panasonic already has the 14, 15 and 20.
