I just got my greasy hands on the FX500, Panasonic’s touchscreen point-and-shoot. As you see in the video, by pointing to a certain object in the frame, the camera stays focused on it even if either the camera or the object goes in motion. Also, manual options could be changed using a slider on the screen, which I found cool. If you don’t always like using a touchscreen, you’re in luck; there is also a joystick to control the action. The camera is $400 and will be on sale in mid-May. [Panasonic]
