Panasonic Lumix FX500 Digital Camera is Touchy

Touchscreens seem to be showing up everywhere these days and the realm of digital cameras is no exception. The Panasonic Lumix Fx500 isn’t the first digital camera to feature a touchscreen display and it most certainly won’t be the last. It’s probably only a matter of time before we get multi-touch with haptic feedback or something too.

Featuring a 3-inch touchscreen LCD, the FX500 comes with a 10.1 megapixel sensor, 25mm ultra wide angel Leica DC lens, intelligent ISO, and face recognition. This is nearly identical to the FX35, except that this camera has a touchscreen interface. Whoop-dee-doo! Rounding out the specs are 5x optical zoom, 720p HD video recording, and the ability to take 16:9 widescreen stills.

Look for this touchy-feely camera to hit stores this May with an asking price of $399.95.
