Leica has supported exporting user settings to the SD card and reloading them since the first Leica M digital camera was released. The M models, the T/TL/TL2/CL/SL/SL2 all have this functionality, some of the others too. My current CL model allows me to define five or six user profiles (plus the factory default profile) and export/import them as desired, transfer them to another CL, etc. You can't have multiple sets of user profiles without doing some manual naming/renaming of the export settings file outside of the camera with your computer, but what's there covers what I need very well anyway.
With over 195 different configurable menu options, I wish my Olympus E-M1 allowed me to do the same thing, but it doesn't. I made a cheat sheet of my settings for it by copying the pages from the instruction manual that listed all the functions and default settings, annotating that with my changes, and keep that handy should I need to set the camera up from the defaults. With that, it only takes me about ten minutes to restore my user setup.
