What are some non-photographic features added to some digital cameras?

Mark Comon (Vice President, Paul's Photo, Torrance, CA) gives expert video advice on: What are some helpful features my digital camera could have?; What are features of some digital cameras that I don't need?; What is the difference between an "optical zoom" and "digital zoom"? and more...

A lot of the digital still cameras they have, have cool features, like the ability to shoot movies. It's a great feature to have for just taking a snippet, they have voice recording, and then voice recording came to us through the journalist side. In the old days, the photo journalist used to have to bring a note pad and paper when he took your picture "ok Mrs. Smith, 222 Applebee Lane, and this is her dog that just got rescued by the police", Now the voice memo mode is very cool, you hit the voice memo mode on your camera and you can record seven seconds of voice and say "this is Mrs. Smith and I just took her picture cause her dog got rescued", whatever, that's a cool stuff, there's all kinds of features in your digital camera, it just depends on what you wanna do and how you wanna use it. I personally don't use any of that stuff, I take my pictures, I print my pictures, I enjoy my pictures. All that other stuff if you're a techie guy, knock yourself out, but its just for you.
