Best Touch Screen Digital Camera 2013

People seem to expect touchscreens these days, since we are using them on our tablets and cellphones, and this is why there have been a lot of touchscreen cameras hitting the markets recently. Tapping the screen instead of having to use buttons and dials is attractive and a lot of people find it quicker and easier too.

Some Popular Models

One camera which people seem to love is the Nikon S80. Nikon is of course a great brand to choose and many professionals use Nikon cameras because they offer high quality. The S80 is a point and shoot, which boasts low power consumption, nice color reproduction, a 3.5 inch OLED touchscreen and a high resolution. The only hard button is the shutter release so you can do pretty much everything else on the touchscreen, including zoom, focus and taking the actual picture.

Canon is another popular brand and the IXUS 310HS has 12.1 megapixels and a 3.2 inch screen with a 461K-dot resolution. This camera allows full HD videoing and lots of digital filters for artistic photo effects, as well as a slow-motion capture mode. Image quality is impressive although this camera is bulkier than some other best selling touch screen digital camera options.

Another nice choice is the Sony DSC-TX10, and this one is compact enough to slip into your pocket. The touchscreen is 3 inches and this model boasts a 921K-dot resolution for excellent quality images. You can also capture 3D still images with this model and use the panorama mode. This camera is shockproof, waterproof and dustproof, so it's great to take along on your next vacation.

There is no doubt touch screen digital cameras offer a wow factor, but there are more reasons to choose this type of device. Tapping an icon with your finger instead of having to press buttons or rotate dials means you can change settings quickly and conveniently. You can also tap on a subject in the display so the camera focuses there. Some of the high-end cameras allow you to focus and shoot just using the touch interface. Flip through images in playback mode by dragging your finger across the screen, or tap on the screen to zoom in or out.

Some models allow you to write on a photo which can be fun, and others allow you to upload your shots or videos to Facebook, YouTube or other social networks, as well as filing your photos in albums so you can carry around your whole collection on the camera instead of on a memory card or at home on your pc. Using a camera with a touch screen is definitely enjoyable and you will be the envy of your friends with one of these ultra-modern devices.

Any Disadvantages?

A touch screen digital camera might not be for everyone. The touch screen interface can be a bit slower than a camera with manual controls, and using the screen for every function can drain the battery faster, but you will still get several hours of battery life which is sufficient for most people who can charge the camera up when they get home.
