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...

I don't see Olympus menus being any worse than any other brand of camera that offers a lot of customizations. Although I've never used a modern Nikon DSLR so maybe Nikon is better?

Olympus tries to group related functions together under the same sub-menu, so it seems reasonably laid out to me.

Having used both Olympus and Panasonic m43 cameras, I strongly favor the Olympus user interface.
