PESO:

I was very tempted to throw the Fuji X-Pro across the room several times.
Every time I picked it up, something on the camera had changed. Operator
error, I know, but very, very frustrating. The little switch on the front
got moved to M for manual focus, +/- for exposure got changed, the aperture
ring on those lenses with one would move drastically, the manual focus ring
on the 14/2.8 would slip backward, turning off the auto-focus. I got so
paranoid that I didn't trust the camera without checking every setting and
by that time my photo would be gone. I ended up using the M240 and MM much
more than the Fuji and I had thought it would be the opposite.
That's why I have said that the 'Amateur' Oly Pen E-PM2 is a premium casual/pocket/bag shooter. With no Mode dial, it
can't get out of 'A', my preferred mode, accidentally.
It's also possible to disable the touch screen and set the rear adjustment dial so it is easy to turn on and off with a
long press of the right button. Up still allows shutter/aperture exposure control, Down controls shutter and Left
(unfortunately, to me) still controls focus point.
Because of the different Menu set-up for a Mode Dial less camera, even an accidental press of the Menu button causes no
trouble.
It is, hands down, the digital camera most likely to simply be in the desired state when grabbed of any I've had. Also
has the later sensor system from the E-M5.
I have rather fallen for the Panny GM1 for the same purposes. It's better in some respects, but not quite as reliable in
settings as the PM2.
