Cliff Mautner, famous wedding photographer for 20 years, was asked by Nikon to evaluate their new camera, the D800. I found his review so exciting that I had to post a link to his blog site where you can see the whole review. Just the following snippet got my mouth watering.
"Some of the more interesting technology introduced in this camera is the face recognition for auto exposure. The idea here is that the 3D color matrix meter III uses the face recognition information and exposes for the face- rather than the other elements in the frame. This is a real advantage in backlit situations. This image was shot in Aperture priority with absolutely ZERO compensation. The advantages here are obvious. Even in a challenging lighting scenario, if the camera can recognize the human face, it'll expose for that face without the need to adjust, thus, nailing exposure consistently without the need to compensate". - Cliff Mautner

Get ready to pre-order a D800, I have.
