I am looking for a new camera and have narrowed down my choices to the E-M10, E-M1 or GX7. I have owned Olympus cameras in the past like the E-PL5 and E-PM2. I honestly sold them due to the horrible menus. They are the worst I have ever seen on any camera and I have tried lots of them from Fuji, Pentax,Sony, etc. Maybe it's just a personal thing. I was wondering if anything has changed with the menu system on either the E-M1 or E-M10? I would love to see one locally but all that's around here is chain stores that do not carry cool cameras like these. Not trying to start a debate...Just hoping maybe the menus have changed to not be so confusing...

Nothing has changed, really. However, here's the thing. I'm sure most people will back me up on this, but really, you should only have maybe 15 minutes of customization and once it's all set up, you'll probably never have to menu dive again. Did you ever enable the Super Control Panel? Once you do, you have everything you'll ever need in front of you.
