You're right. iPhoto on Mac and Picasa both have face recognition for tagging from the address book. Many digital cameras have face recognition. It'd be nice if those two features were merged together in N900 .

Really?

I saw cameras with face recognition and the manual said it recognizes faces as in, "ooooh, there's a face" not as in "Hi, Jim".

The cam recognition uses that to focus on softer shades on a face rather than a sharp easy-to-focus sweater model.

Is there a camera that recognizes the name of the person in the shot? This raises so many questions. Like, how come the compact Casio does stuff that four-figure muti-CPU DSLRs can't.

As for the Picasa PC software, that's a toy, not a tool.

yes, you save pictures of for example your family to the cam and it tries to focus on them if taking group pictures, my cam has face-smile recognition and thats not what I meant to tell...

a well and I have a touchscreen on my cam and can draw in the picture, make notes, edit... thats not wanted on DSLR semi-prof cams...

Yes, I read that but Dinho up there said "face recognition for tagging from the address book. Many digital cameras have face recognition", implying that a merge would allow an N900 user to snap a pic and then the N900 would auto-tag it as "Jim" because it recognized Jim in the shot. The cake is a lie.

I know of no algos that even remotely reliably do that. And neither work on 600MHz CPUs, ARM or not. That's why I said that the PC tool is a toy and if a Casio would do that Sony/Nikon/Canon would have a lot to answer for after selling those multi-thousand credits that can't do what a cam with the processing power of a wristwatch does.

In retrospect, that was a lot of text for a random thought
