I may look at Sony next but what I have heard about their control menus has kept me at bay: I am an old codger and what I always liked about my Leicas was their simplicity.....aperture, shutter speed and ISO (formerly ASA) were basically all you needed to worry about setting and they were easy to do. Then I bought an Olympus OMD-whatever it was and I never could remember how it worked. I understand Sonys are worse.....but maybe I need to stop in at our remaining local camera store and take a look.
