Is there one camera manufacturer that stands out as a leader when it comes to intuitive menus?

Please ignore, if possible, stratospheric priced cameras.

Thanks
 
To be honest, I have never driven an electric car. I have never driven an automatic either. So everything I say about automatic transmissions is "hearsay".
On the other hand, I have driven many different manual shift cars, from old Eastern European ones to modern Audis and BMWs. With the exception of cars with double clutch transmission,
I've never seen a manual double clutch. When/Who had that?
they are all basically the same. You have to know how the shift stick works (very different, for instance, in the Renault 4 or Citroen 2CV), and have to get a feel for the clutch.
Usually that takes only a few minutes of driving, stopping and starting. The worst I remember was an Opel where the clutch felt like an on/off switch ;)
Like a Honda XR650L dual sport bike. I would change bikes and it took me a day to stop lunging.

The only ones that come to my mind now are old Land Rovers (and old trucks, but I never drove those). I think every passenger car built after 1960 or so had a synchromesh already?

I have driven trucks with transmissions that required you to double clutch but not cars unless the synchronizers were shot. Since the synchronizer was invented in 1919 it's hard to imagine and car from the last 90 years not having them. Trucks didn't have them for durability reasons.

My dad's volkswagen bug didn't have synchro on the 1st gear.

Early cars had no synchromesh on first gear, . . .

1961 introduced full-synchronized four-speed manual transmission

He said it was a pain.

He'd have to slowly move the stick and delicately slip the car into 1st.

Take care & Happy Shooting!

Yes there were some that did not have them in the first gear but that was because you weren't supposed to downshift to a gear that low while moving or you were expected to shift into first when the engine slowed to idle. If you were impatient through, grindddddd.

I'm not sure. I'm only familiar with dual clutch as a type of automatic transmission. I'd be interested to understand how a dual clutch manual works (paddle shifters not withstanding).
