Nikon had (has?) something similar in their cameras that uses facial recognition software to fix red eyes. My shop doesn't carry Nikon P&S cameras any more, but we loved that feature when we had them. We sold a ton of 'em just on that feature alone. For people who just want a camera that "takes good pictures" without much effort, facial recognition features are a good thing. You may not need it, but there are lots of people who do.
