I've seen this feature heavily advertised on Canon and other cams. Today I see a Pentax Optio advertised in the paper, and I see that it, too, has "genuine face recognition".
I no longer have the eyesight of a 20 year old, but I have no problem knowing when I'm looking at a face - either in "real life" or through a viewfinder. Just because I'm lazy, and I suspect that some of the answers on this list might be more informative than advertising copy (and more fun, to boot!), could I please have a brief primer on Face Recognition and why in the world I might want it? thanks, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
