Fujifilm to release first camera with touchscreen shooting
Monday, June 15th, 2009
It was announced on the Fujifilm Japan web site (in Japanese) that the Fujifilm Finepix Z300 offers users the ability to not only focus the image using the touchscreen, but to shoot the image as well. It has 10MP, a 3.0″ touch-sensitive LCD, and 5x optical zoom and will be offered in Glossy Black, White Gold, Pink, and Purple casings. The Japanese press release is greatly pushing the function that allows the user to focus on the subject and take a photo simply by touching the screen — in other words, without having to press the shutter release button. The Z300 is set to be released on 20th June in Japan; however, there are currently no plans to release the Z300 outside of Japan.
