The coolest camera features of 2010

Sometimes, choosing a camera demands considerations other than image quality and battery life. These cameras have innovative extras that may win you over as soon as you try them.

Canon's Wink Detection



Good for: Remote-controlling your camera without a remote

Many of today's cameras have a smile-detection feature, which fires the shutter as soon as a subject in the frame grins. This year sees another threat to your camera's remote and self-timer: Canon's Wink Detection feature (found in the new PowerShot SX210 IS, SD1400 IS, and SD3500 IS), which, as its name suggests, snaps a photo as soon as someone in front of the lens winks. We haven't had a chance to test it yet, but we're hoping that it puts a slight delay between the wink and the shutter's firing. Otherwise, everyone will end up looking like Popeye.
