Camcorder technology continues to evolve as we move into 2008. Several new models were introduced at the recent consumer electronics show that now feature face recognition technology. Sony and Panasonic have already released models offering this technology, with more to come later this year.

The Face Recognition Technology Facts

Face recognition and face detection technology offers a big plus for still photographers. In essence, it allows the photographer to have an auto correct feature for common facial image photography problems. Introduced a few years ago, face recognition technology is now quite common in digital cameras.

Camcorder owners can expect to see common problems become non issues. For starters, face detection technology will offer auto focus correction. Also, you can expect your images to have balanced color and greater clarity than ever before.

Two Companies Introduce First New Models

Two companies are leading the way in camcorder face detection technology. Both Sony and Panasonic introduced new camcorder models at the consumer electronics show. Panasonic, who were one of the last companies to offer face detection technology in their still cameras, have rolled out the HDC-SD9 model. Meanwhile, Sony's high end model HDR-SR10 is a brand new entrant to the camcorder marketplace offering face recognition capabilities.

Camcorder Owners Will Notice A Difference

If you decide to buy one of these new models, you'll notice a great deal more clarity in facial images. Specifically, you can expect the common problem of excess light exposure to be practically eliminated. Other notable improvements will be color balance and overall sharpness in facial images.

You will see several other companies jump aboard the face recognition technology camcorder market later in 2008 and into 2009. Among those companies with models supposedly in the works or ready for release are Sanyon, Canon, and Olympus. In terms of price, the Panasonic HDC-SD9 retails at $799, but it remains to be seen if price levels will fluctuate as more models are introduced.
