2 important updates for considering the G90 over G80 not mentioned here are:

A. Internal charging. The box includes a standalone charger also. Moreover, both the camera and the charger use a micro usb input. I simultaneously charge 2 batteries at a time with a dual port powerbank or charge the spare in my bag while using the first one.

B. Powering the camera via usb. Very useful for video, timelapse or live composite.

I suppose the newer Panny from hereon would use the same internal USB charging.

I had once researched to a longer battery life solution back to the GX7's day. While a DC coupler, a voltage step up case and an USB power bank be finally proved working, arrival of G95 (which can take USB power directly) had stopped my progress on this front.

Regarding the kit lens. The store where I bought mine allowed me to upgrade it to any lens, so I bought the G90 with the 12-60 2.8-4 instead. This is the advantage for buying in smaller stores.
