"Don't get such a complicated camera if you are a beginner and want to learn photography! Better get a menu driven entry level m43 as it also allows better DOF control"

Tell me why a menu driven camera will be better, some menu system are quite complicated.

And why would a menu driven camera give you better control over dof ?
