Originally posted by gatorguy IMO there's such a thing as TOO customizable. I tried to use a buddy's A7II on a photo shoot and I just couldn't without his assistance. Way too convoluted a menu, and even he struggled with what I would have expected to be a relatively common function (changing the focus frame display for eye focus).
I regularly see fellow photographers with Sony A7x's huddling together to go over various settings and where to find them/what they mean. It should not be so complicated.
I guess the better part of those complaints about the complexity of Sony Alfa's menus are fairly over-exaggerated. Nikon's menus, for instance, perplex me to a much greater extent than Sony's.)))
I got used to AIII's menu pretty fast - the layout somewhat reminds that on Pentax cameras. Looks like an average of Pentax and Canon menus. This said, K-1's menu and ergonomics in general are by far the best, period.)
AIII is a good camera, making you smile on closer acquaintance by its sheer technical superiority, especially in relation to its price. The execution, the build is cheaper than it could have been, but the camera is extremely capable nonetheless. K-1 is the touchstone for ergonomics, IQ, UI, DR, PS, Astro, etc, etc., but it cannot be superior in just everything.
