Few more questions and a rant.
I'll start with the latter. The Oly menus are just too complex, it's difficult to find something quickly. But you have the super panel (or whatever it's called) some might say. True, it helps but doesn't solve the problem. And guess what, try to hit that center ok button with gloves that are anything but a liner. I have maybe a 25% success rate at best, really frustrating.
So, is E-M1 any easier to use with gloves? I would venture to say that no but I'd like to hear from somebody who tried both.
Does the bigger grip reduce the space for the fingers? I bough a L-plate with a grip and also the Oly grip for the E-M5ii. With a thicker lens, such as the 12-40/2.8 and 12-100/4, there is very little space for the fingers, and I don't have thick fingers.
Other thoughts.
The live view with real time highlight overexposure AND shadow underexposure is brilliant, I wish Fuji would have it. You can play with the exposure compensation and maximize the dynamic range of the sensor or figure it out if one exposure will cut it. There are issues though. The highlight overexposure is very conservative. I had a shot where I chose to have few blown highlights while the camera was showing I have minimal if any shadow problems. In LR though there was much more room for highlights, like 2/3 of a stop, while the shadows were way too noisy when there were lightened.
The high resolution mode is nice but too flawed. Can't deal with even minute movement.
