Sounds like you need a R8/9 DMR package.  Very simple to operate and use, 
and the menu is simplicity itself.  Yes, it is large and heavy like a D3 
series Nikon or 1Dx Canon, but far simpler to use.

Cheers,
Gene

Too much complexity, and this thing probably weighs as much as three M9's.  
I want cameras that are simple and basic and small.
