gizmodo.com — There's one in every picture. Some fool who ruins your shot by closing their eyes just as you hit the shutter button. Well, Canon's looking to make that a thing of the past with their new Blink Shot technology, which won't let you take a picture if your subject's eyes are closed.

if it works that is really cool...but the article really didnt have many details of how it will work or when we'll see it...i bet its a pretty expensive camera if it ever does get released...

I imagine this feature can be turned on or off, so you can still enjoy your hobby of taking pictures of people sleeping through windows at night.

Sweet, I hope it shoots staples at light speed to pin our eyes open right before it takes a photo.

Here is an awesome headshot I did that would not exist because of this technology:<a class="user" href="http://www.gavinphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/ahs-0.jpg">http://www.gavinphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/ahs-0.jpg</a>Here's the whole bunch:<a class="user" href="http://www.gavinphotography.com/blog/2007-03-06-alhambra-high-school-theatre-headshots/">http://www.gavinphotography.com/blog/2007-03-06-alhambra-high-school-theatre-headshots/</a>You can see that the asian guys have a huge disadvantage. And I'm half chinese, so my original comment is not racist, or a joke. AND I'm a Canon shooter too.
