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...

If you like Olympus menus then you should be very happy with Olympus bodies.

I don't like Olympus menus. For me they are counter-intuitive. Panasonic menus, for me, are intuitive. That 's why I prefer Panasonic bodies.

You appear to believe that anyone who does not think like you is wrong, and that any gear you do not own is a "toy". That's not a great way to be taken seriously.
