Unfortunately, it is part of the typical Panasonic clown show as far as naming. Anyone else tired of many names for the same camera? My GX7II is logically named here in Japan as is the GX7III since it is clear they are successors to the GX7. GX85, GX80, GX9, GX8, etc. confuses everyone and you feel the need to specify several names in a thread so people know what you are talking about. Same thing for my TX1 (ZS100, TZ100, etc.).

You missed one name variant of the G90/91/95 - in the Japanese market, it’s the G99! Even more weirdly, the G95 and G99 have a 1.24M dot LCD monitor, whilst the G90 and G91 have a 1.04M dot OLED monitor - what’s THAT about, I wonder? Oh, and according to Panasonic’s Canadian website, although they still call it the G95 as in the US, Canada gets the G90/91 spec OLED monitor! Yet Australia gets the G95 with the LCD monitor, like the US. No wonder Panasonic only puts the model number on the adhesive serial number label these days...

I didn't realize that there were also all those strange differences. Very weird. I thought it was just the name. It makes me wonder about my GX7II and TX1 also?

As far as I am aware, this is the only model where there have been differences on this scale - it’s very puzzling.
