Peter:
Congrats.
Yes, the user interface options are challenging. Having been through the
menus on screen several times, at least the options are now more or less
understandable. Having done that, I then reset the camera back to
defaults. I'll make just a couple of changes and then see what I need -
in particular wrt manual focus lenses (I don't have my adapters yet). I
recognize how simple life was with my OM2N and 4T. I suspect there's a
lot in the OM-D's menus that I'll never use.
I went mirrorless because I wanted something small and light. The OM-D
is that, even with the 12-50. I'd looked at the fast primes recently and
they are also small. And, the new sensor hits the right spot,too.
