Perhaps camera manufactuers will come up with a device you strap to your forehead and it takes pics whenever you think "ooh, that's a nice view". Or humans with an SD card slot in the back of their heads, so you just have to blink to take a picture? This is all getting a bit silly, these features that even casual snappers don't use are being shoved into cameras just to please the marketing departments.

If it's so good at at snapping smiles...

Damn...

...I can't buy this camera even if I wanted to.

The wife looks much better when she is not smiling. No chance of any pictures of her then.
