What is this? We bought our son a cheap ($90) point and shoot for Christmas, and it boasts features I've seen on other name brand cameras coming out-face tracking and smile recognition.. It claims that it can detect when someone smiles and capture it. Now this seems a little silly to me, and I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with these seemingly useless features? I mean, if you can't track a face or determine when someone smiles, you probably shouldn't be driving a camera... Anyway, here's the camera in question:

And here is the claim:
"Face Detection technology
Tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure. Smile capture mode automatically releases the shutter to snap a digital photo when your subject smiles."
