If the menus on the OMD5 mark II is your idea of limited menus, I am sorry for
you and I'll sell you mine.. And I'm not referring to braying online jackasses
like TN, but experienced photographers and skilled writers like Thom Hogan and
Kirk Tuck and Mike Johnston.
And I have a prejudice coming from Nikon, whose menus are a fine example of
simplicity written by a native english speaker. Never seen a canon menu.

Those 'credible reviewers' mostly have a prejudice coming from Canon/Nikon,
is my impression. If it is not like they're used to, it is difficult so
gets bashed.
I use Sony next to Olympus and I don't think the menu system is better then
Olympus. When I had a Canon (5d and 6d), I wasn't impressed either. Helping
other photographers has left me in the dark with the Nikon menu as well.
And that said, Olympus offers great customization, more then average I
think. Could it be that part of the fuss is people not used to this complex
level of settings and thus hiding their ignorance behind a sharp opinion?
On the sunny side, the modern Olympus and Sony's have options to define and
access a limited menu for your most used settings. I think that is the best
you can expect apart from a ISO norm for menu's (and I wish my current
camera's have it ;-).
