>From DP Review's Photokina 2006 blurb on Canon.

"Canon is making a lot of noise about its new face detection AF/AE system 
(we can confirm it works well with beautiful models, not yet sure how it 
works with uglier faces)..."

Hmm...will there be selectable AE settings for northern European white 
types, third-world brown types (with apologies to Howard Hunter), Pacific 
Islanders, deep-black Africans, high-yellow North Americans, et al? So many 
peoples. So many reflectance factors. It'll be fun to see how the PC ninnies 
react to racial profiling in a photographic context.
