Panasonic has terribly goofed up the touch-screen feature of its HDC-HS250 model causing a great deal of annoyance and disappointment to its consumers. When a manufacturer like Panasonic offers touch-screen facility in its device, people expect more from it and it’s unfortunate that the technology is not up-to-the mark.
