And I agree. Touch screens can be beneficial under certain circumstances — but they are not amazing for anything that has to be reliable and must be operated under stressful conditions.

This is how for example the interface of the 50k$ Arri Alexa looks like (the de facto standard in cinema cameras): http://nofilmschool.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_w...

There were lower priced cameras like the Black Magic Production Camera which use only a toucscreen.

And you can guess why that Black Magic model is discontinued..
