I was playing around with this last night and took some pictures of my daughter. Was thinking the camera wasnt working at first and then realised that it takes the picture automatically when the subject smiles. :D

Its great. I had face recognition on as well as smile and 2 little boxes come up. When Grace (my daughter) smiled it snapped away without a button press. cool. :angry: Well she liked it :D

Somehow you don't think of 'The-Jackal' as having a daughter. lol

Care to share the pics so we can see if it works?

It is very cool, I have noticed you have to smile and show your teeth.

Not every person does this, and the camera sits there waiting and then fires when your subject says " Pfft, thats a sh1t phone"

Hehe, I had friends up at the weekend, and on one of them, it'd only fire when he made a sad face! lol!

On the whole though, it's excellent... :D
