So other than the 4 extra megapixels on the sensor, USB charging and V-LogL, what are the differences between this and the G80/85 for video? I don't see anything in the specs that would make me rush out and buy it over a G80.

Exactly as I said - GX9 internals (with the 1,26x additional crop), with V-Log and 1080p120 added.
Only reason for this crop: segmentation (an idiot one, without crop there are enough differences for the G9 and GH5 - 4k60p, 10bit 4:2:2, etc).
EU prices
In the official specifications at Panasonic Spain's web states that there isn't 30' recording limit but it does mention the possibility of overheating. Maybe it is a simple copy/paste from original as this part of the text is still in english.
It is now standard for all models.
the only possible reason someone might pick this over the x-t30 is recording limit. Otherwise the 4k crop shoots itself in the foot.
I didn't know that, @Vitaliy_Kiselev. EU already eliminated those camcorder tariffs? Aleluya :-)
As far as I know - they did not. Just prices of Panasonic cameras rose much more :-)
I mean overheating warnings.
I mean overheating warnings.
Oh, ok. They are afraid of lawyers maybe?
Hey. Regarding the tariffs, I've did a search about and, aparently, it ends next July. :-O
The text commits 50 parties, including the EU's 28 member states, to eliminate tariffs on IT products in four stages over a three-year period ending on 1 July 2019. Each of the parties have submitted schedules for the elimination of tariffs. They also agree to intensify consultations on non-tariff barriers in the IT sector.
Mic jack AND headphone jack!!! revolutionary ;) I'll stick with my G85 for now.
Yeah, I wasn't sure if there was going to be a G90 (I have a G80 / G7 & GH2) so I bought a GH5 last month for £1249 with the kit zoom lens. Was starting to get "buyers remorse" until I read the specs of this new G90, and am now glad I went for the GH5 as it offers so much more for nearly the same price (alright about £170 more.)
Panasonic will never allow GXX line to interfere with their GH line.
Segmentation is now considered very important for all top brands.
Thanks to its groundbreaking GH series of cameras, Panasonic has developed a reputation for being one of the strongest brands for consumer video. But the release of the Lumix DC-G95 (known as the G90 outside North America) just draws attention to the fact that brand perception doesn't necessarily convey those qualities across the lineup.
So, the G90 isn't the G80 replacement after all. I didn't notice until now the "DMC" vs "DC" variation in the names of both.

I'm not seeing substantial reviews about the IQ--any opinions?
