Re: Why I changed to Fuji

I can understand Stephen's reasons which closely parallel my own reasons for moving from EM-5 to Sony A7. I had no problems with image quality but I had three problems with the EM-5. It was a bit too small and fiddly and I only really liked it with the grip on, the x2 crop factor limited the viability of using 'legacy' lenses, specifically from my Leica M system but above all it was too complicated and counter intuitive in many controls. Many times out in the field I was trying to take a picture and couldn't remember how to do things or get to certain functions and the 'myset' feature just confused matters even more.

I don't think that I would go back to Olympus but it is a high quality system and I certainly respect its many strengths.

Would I buy another Olympus? Yes, in a heartbeat. If the controls were more analogue and intuitive. And I hope that Olympus may read this and bear at least some of it in mind for future developments, because surely I'm not alone in not wanting to control a camera as if it's a computer (which it is!).

I live in hope that one day we will see the return of the lens mount control ring, as per OMs and XZs

The left hand has little to do but zoom, so why not reintroduce what was a great idea...
