What an amazing future is ahead in digital photography! Read Pogue's complete article for the full picture.

"Some of Nikon's CoolPix models already contain face-recognition software, a feature that supposedly assists focus by scanning the scene for human facial features.

A companion feature, called Smile Shot, waits to fire until your subject manages a grin."
