Even though this is a Pen and not an OM-D, I feel like all the controls are

The back controls are well laid out and easy to work

Sure it's pricey but you lose nothing when it comes to complete creative control.

The IQ is good for a MFT camera, with decent noise control, including nice usable images up to 3200 ISO

Also, the viewfinder position on the far left of the camera body made it hard to shoot with lwdr-eyed shooters like me; I had to permanently disable the touch-focus control, or hide the LCD, or continually shift the focus with my nose touching the screen

This is an update after learning more about the camera: While the menus, particularly the advanced custom menus remain daunting, I've learned to love the Super Control Menu which allows the user to change stuff on the fly

The controls are right where you want them to be

The controls can't get much better than the ones on this camera

If it can have the Pen form factor without the front dial (the only legacy camera I remember that had that kind of a dial was the Argus C-3 which was one of the ugliest cameras ever sold), so much the better!
