I started with a G5, then bought an EM5, mostly because I loved my OM2 back in the day. I liked it, but the bizarre menu system annoyed me, especially switching back and forth between it and the intuitive Panasonic menus.

So I sold the EM5 and a PM1 body I bought for backup, bought a GX7 and am happier. The G5 is for backup and the 100-300 lens. It handles better for me on the G5 than on the GX7.

What would I like in a future camera? A smaller GX with a better viewfinder and 5 axis IBIS, and a G body with the above GX innards.

Could you tell us what exactly in the menu of the EM5 was that difficult for you to master...? I own EM5 and I don't feel there is any special problem with the menu... plus Olympus has one of the best together with Canon quick on screen menu as you press the OK...
