My daughters Canon camcorder has this feature in the photo part of the
camcorder and seems to work but does it actually improve metering etc I
cannot say.

Put image quality first on your list. The camera comapnies need to learn
that image quality should come before more megapixels and gimmiks.

Face recognition isn't a gimmick: without it, P&S AF systems tend to find
something in the background with more contrast than your human subject and
focus on that.

(Of course, I don't know if the face recognition trick actually solves this
problemg, but assuming it does, it's a great idea.)

Many small-sensor cameras I have used try and focus on the /nearest/
subject.

Canon has face-recognition technology in the S5 IS and in the 1DS Mark III.
Both are relatively new. Look for reviews of these. The S5 is an all-in-
one with a great long zoom, about $500. The 1DS Mark III is a DSLR Body
about $4,500.

Do you have trouble recognizing faces? Put the autofocus point on the
face, lock focus, and recompose. Jeeze... why not look for a camera that
goes out and makes photos fo you while you sit on the sofa and drink beer.

The above steps are far above what the average shooter can or will do.
[no one here is average, btw, sorta like Lake Wobegone].

If it works well, it'd be a welcome feature for at least some
sophisticated photographers. Er, landscape and product shooters excepted.

Many small-sensor cameras I have used try and focus on the /nearest/
subject.

Or, the area with the highest contrast ratio.

If face recognition isn't a gimmick, then it's one step above which is a
"questionable feature".
