One big minus is the Olympus manual and the hidden features. Don't they want people to find these? It took me a few days to realize I could customize the mode dial. I shoot primarily in A or M. That means I can replace 4 of the never-used modes on the dial (iAUTO, P, ART, SCN) with 4 custom Myset options. I now have 2 different A modes and 2 different M modes, with different settings for each. This adds a lot to a camera without a lot of manual controls.

Thanks a lot for this info! I noticed "Mode Dial function" menu but didn't pay attention to it because it was disabled. Now after your post I defined MySets and the menu got enabled so I can assign the Mysets to Mode Dial.

This is a great step forward in usability, actually. And one more advantage vs E-M5 (apart from smaller focus areas).

If you didn't see it, please check my E-PL5 thread, maybe you'll find some useful info.
