Crave Face detection is souped up with blink detection, which for our money is way more sensible than the smile shutter also added. Crave will stop at nothing to bring you the latest stuff. That's how we roll.

Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS: Let's face it

Fujifilm F50fd: Solid gold easy action

Pentax Optio V20: Affordable compact raises the game

Crave Equally, the usual features are given a boost: face detection is joined by one of those ridiculous smile shutters, and a slightly less silly blink detection. The Pentax Optio V20 is an 8-megapixel point-and-shoot.
