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.

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.

The G90/95 has the Minimum Shutter Speed setting.  This allows you to set the lowest shutter speed the camera can use when you have enabled Auto ISO.  I find this very handy for street photography because I always use Aperture Priority mode but when I'm walking and shooting, it's important to use a faster shutter speed to reduce motion blur.  With Minimum Shutter Speed, I can choose the aperture I want and also make sure the shutter speed doesn't go slower than a specified speed.
