Panasonic Gets Official with the G10 and G2

"Panasonic has not sat by and let others take up its mantle, though. It has introduced two models to take up where the G1 left off - the simplified G10 and the upgraded G2. Both will go into battle equipped with a new, simplified 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens and even the G10, which loses the G1's hi-res viewfinder and articulated screen comes tooled-up with 720p HD video in the simple but space-hungry Motion JPEG format. Both models offer Panasonic's new Intelligent Resolution technology that attempts to smooth or sharpen different parts on the image in a context-sensitive way to optimize image quality."

Well, here it is, the official specs and details on the Panasonic G10 and G2. One of the new features on the G2 is a touch screen. Am I the only one who remains extremely dubious about the usefulness of a touch screen on a camera? A friend has a point and shoot camera with a touch screen, and using it seemed much slower than navigating through a menu. I'm sure there are some interesting things a touch screen interface can bring to the table, but I'm more than a little skeptical...what do you think of touch screens?
