Face Detection = "Racist" Cameras!

Nikon,HP...pfft. Canons face detection works so well it could find an albino in a snowstorm .

Not always..

I read this article with interest.. I have a G10 bought in Australia.. I live in Laos naturally surrounded by Asian faces,, some of my best friends are Lao.. What I've noticed if I have two or three people of mixed races my G10 will usually lock focus on a Caucasian face first.. If I'm photographing an Asian person it takes a bit longer to lock focus than on a Caucasian face..

arent the camera maker's Japanese themselves , strange.
