While the Panasonic FX78 sports an unassuming body with clean lines, this shooter is also the slimmest and most compact of the lot, slipping into jeans pockets with ease. Of course, its flat design also made keeping a grip a little tough while snapping photos. A whopping 3.5-inch touchscreen takes almost all of the real-estate at the back, with a short row of physical buttons residing on top. While Panasonic certainly didn’t cut any corners in terms of build, the FX78′s touch-based controls took a fair bit of getting used to. The touch interface was also sluggish at times, and can be a little complicated in terms of navigation, in contrast, the physical zoom slider switch seemed overtly sensitive, making accurate zooms a matter of trial and error.
