The team hopes to sell the technology to camera manufacturers with the aim of having a commercial version on the market within 2-3 years!!!!!

Would you wait 3 years instead of buying your camera now?

We use digital cameras guys, if our subjects blink we can just take another shot.

Who wants a computer program deciding which shots you keep?:confused:

What a load of crap! How expensive is that gonna be?

What's next? A gadget that takes away the need for a photographer?

I know right?!

Sooner or later you're going to see these big machines that people can get into and have their portrait taken. Oh wait.... :)

I actually ran into a woman a few weeks ago asking about my 20D... she said she was waiting for a camera where you could tell it what you wanted to take a picture of and it would take it for you. How crazy is that??

I think that technology is cool and all, but if I'm that worried about having a shot with someone blinking, I'd rather just shoot burst of 3-4 shots and look over it myself. Seems like a cost increase that I would just as well be without.

Not as silly as it sounds, at least from the perpestive of the manufactors who are all trying to introduce something new to make thier product stand out.

Check out this Noink, http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Nikon/nikon_cp7900.asp
It has a "Best Shot Selector" It takes continous shots for as long as the shutter is depressed, then chooses what it thinks is the best one.
I tried it last week, and it didn't work.
Infact the whole camera was a bit of a Joke, it has simply has to many MP for its proccessor to handle, and takes about 5sec to save each shot.

Yeah, I've heard people talk about that feature as well. I think that's a really cool concept as well (it supposedly looks at the file sizes and deletes all photos except the largest... supposedly sharper images have more filesize). While this is a good idea, sometimes you might end up with a few shots where they're all sharp enough for usage, but one may be slightly less sharp than the one the camera would decide to keep, yet that has a major flaw that the other did not (maybe someone's hand was in the corner of the shot, someone blinked, you accidentally moved the camera and cut off something on someone, etc.
