Buttons are so uncool: all of the cool products these days come with touch-screen displays, at least that's what many seem to think. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 follows this trend by replacing the conventional slew of buttons with a 3-inch touch screen menu system. Instead of buttons and dials for setting modes and controlling the features of the camera, it’s all done through the on-screen menu with a fingertip.

It’s built around a 1/1.7-inch Suoer HAD CCD sensor and includes 256MB of internal memory. But is it worth the sizeable $449.99 price tag? Read on to find out…
