$400.00
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Touch screen. Very good object tracking. Adjustable noise reduction (but can't be turned off).
The Cons:No zoom during video shooting. MJPEG instead of H.264 video compression. No optical viewfinder.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500, released in May 2008 was one of the first digital cameras on the market with a touchscreen LCD. The idea behind the touchscreen is that it provides the user with an easy-to-use interface, similar to the iPhone.

The main benefit to the touchscreen is that you can select the object you want to focus on, directly on the touchscreen.
