For me, Olympus got it so nearly, perfectly right with the E-1 and then the E-M1 bodies. Button and dial placement on both is outstanding, shape and grip size just naturally falls to hand with the dials easily accessible. And the E-M1 is so configurable, with 9 or 10 of the buttons, levers, and dials customizable, it's pretty much able to be configured for nearly anyone's preferences. By comparison, the Sony A7 is clunky, a bit rough around the edges. What saves it is the excellent sensor, and the fact that I have a kit of superb lenses looking for a body to work with. :-) G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
