I want to stay with Panasonic because I find the menu system of the Olympus cameras way too complicated.

Don't narrow your choice! Menu system should be the last thing while shooting.

BTW: Olympus has so called "super control panel", which lets you forget about menus in most cases.

Oh, for Panny it is one of the 6 display modes as below (a sample from GX7) from which we can select and change the setting. Such display can be selected by circling through hitting of the "Disp" key. No menu diving required.

From DPR: review of GX7

I rarely use it because I would rather prefer to have the image be displayed and access the function by the physical and soft fn keys. There is generally a total of 20 programmable soft fn keys in the Q.Menu & Tab Menu plus additional soft keys (if any) that relate to a function been activated at that time.

Unfortunately, options within such display cold not be programmed by user.

No menu diving with the Olympus either, you simply press OK to bring up SCP at any time. No need to swap the display to the always on SCP mode (which you can do as well if you want).
