Next month, Sony plans on launching a new digital camcorder that can not only record high-definition video, but also simultaneously and automatically snap photos when someone smiles. Users of digital camcorders typically have to switch between video recording mode and still picture mode. This is the first camcorder that won't require you to do so, and you can even set priority levels on children or adults. I've been very impressed with the facial recognition of my digital camera (a Canon SX100), so I'm very interested to see how well this "smile recognition" works.
