Re: Olympus Menus

I'd really try and make the effort to try one out even if it means travelling somewhere to find it.

I absolutely loved my E-1(s) - yes, plural - but the combination of the menu system and unlabelled squidgy little buttons meant that I found the EM-5 positively got in the way of my photography, regardless of how good a camera it actually is.  I was relieved when I sold it, but that's just my personal eccentricity; I'd never argue that it's anything other than a great camera - just one where the handling is never going to be right for me.  Even the Super Control Panel is a mess compared to some of the other manufacturers - that on the latest Pentax cameras being a model of clarity for example.  This is one reason why I chose the GX-7 recently - it's menus and button placement work brilliantly for me.
