That's it: my Em1.2 is gone before I destroy it.

I am not in here for sympathy, I guess I am not here for any response just needed to vent some frustration. But I can understand what you say.

But it is not true that I did not invest time to learn the cam. I have set my mysets to C1 (HiRes), C2 (action shooting, with exact settings for C-AF and minimal shutterspeed) and C3 (for portraits). Which is what covers my shooting for 95% of the time. So the need to use a vry different setting is rarely there. With a cam that is, to my mind, so unintuitive it means you need to remember it because trying to find a setting based on some logic just doesn't work (for me).

I also do not think my experience is unique. As an example:

Ming Thein "Under the hood, we see some menu reorganization with nested submenus to avoid page scrolling. The camera remains hugely customizable, to the extent that you may well need a good half an hour to navigate all the options (and have trouble finding them again afterwards). A customizable ‘my menu’ is sorely needed, and an option to save settings to an SD card either for backup or transfer to another camera – especially when it takes the better part of 30min to set up fully. There is an option to transfer settings via a computer and special software, but this is hardly practical in the field.

and

"Olympus needs to take care with the menu system, though: it’s close to being the same level of unintuitive maze Sony has.

I'll stop there: you will find very similar remarks on the menu's in many reviews, one striking example being the Em5mk2 review on dpreview where the reviewer needed to call Olympus because (I believe) for a whole night he could not find a specific setting. Given my EPl5 experience I can say that the Em1.2 are not much different from this perspective so the Em5.2 remark is still valid in my view for the Em1.2.
