Why the OM-D is not a great camera!

I could list several improvements to make it a "great" camera but to me the size of the focus field is a minor one. I use Fn1 in default setting (multibutton) with the zoom selected. Whenever i need the small focus field, i simply press Fn1 and it is there. If i want to go back, i npress Fn1 again (a bit longer).

Moving the small focus field with the cursors is a pain in the a** for anything else than fine tuning. Here i'd love to use the control dials as implemented in the E-3/5, one wheel for up/down and the other for left/right. Right now i either change to large focus field, move via cursors, change back to small and adjust or i take the camera from the eye and use the touch screen. Both options are usable workarounds but not fast enough. If all else fails i lock focus and recompose but what's the use of having dedicated focus fields if you don't use them.

For focus peaking i actually prefer using the key line filter because as soon as the lines are sharp i know that focus is spot on. With the focus peaking on the NEX it is approximately there but not alway spot on.

Regarding the mysets. Yes, named Mysets are nice to have but i'd prefer fast access to unnamed Mysets if i had to choose
