CMOS stands for Complementary metal oxide semiconductor. CMOS sensors are used in cameras to detect light an convert it to electricity. You can think in a 2D array of million of sensors which main function is to convert that minimal point of light hitting on its surface  into electricity. This "electricity" information is processed by the digital control and converted into a photograph or video.

CANON digital cameras 240 and 310 models do have touchscreen controls.
Hope this helps
