Jorginho, I think you touched some kind of nerve with this, unfortunately.

I don't know why people feel it necessary to argue a personal decision, based on an intrinsic comfort level with an item. Sometimes things just don't work well for someone, and no amount of fiddling with it is going to change that. You might be able to get used to it, but it is never going to be intuitive and it is always going to be frustrating to use, for you.....so why should that be an issue for anyone else?

As I said, been there and done that. After six months spent with my EM-1, and carefully, repeatedly, going through the menus and setting up the controls to work the way I wanted them to, I still got frustrated with how the camera operated every single time I used it. Chalked it up to experience, and that that was not the camera for me. For whatever reason, my intrinsic brain wiring coordinates better with the Panasonic UI logic than with that used by Oly, and nothing I can do will change that. I can use Oly cameras, sure, but they will never be second nature to pick up and shoot with, for me, whereas I can spend 20 minutes with even a new Panasonic, and have it set up and smoothly operating at that point. It just is what it is.

Life is short, use the gear that works for you, and don't sweat it.
