Re: Olympus Menus

Before I buy a camera I first try to download a manual of the one I have interest in. So I have downloaded the manual of the E-M1 and the GX7.  The difference is very great. Look something up  and the olympus manual keeps pointing from one paragraph to an other.  The panasonic one use your computer by having three buttons on every page  to switch to the index , the former paragraph  you was looking at  and a very nice page that shows you how to find something really quick. From the index you can jump to the pages you want. On a scale from 1 to 10 . I give the olympus one a 4 and the panasonic one a 9. Same goes for the camera menu's. On the moment I own a E-M5 and a GX1 after 8 months I still have sometimes trouble with the menu of the olympus but not with the Panny. Still the quality of the photo's of the olympus is very great when everything is working as it should. I would like that olympus take a good look at the menu structure of some other camera makers.
