One of the features I really like about my (otherwise quite poor) digital camera is that it also allows for taking video and sound recordings. There's even a setting you can use where it will take the photo, then switch to audio mode, and you speak a short description of what you've just photographed.
Very handy.
My main use for that feature was when taking photos while alcohol-impaired. Useful for recording lists of ingredients in cocktails, because otherwise you know you'll never remember...:)
On the ID thing, what I would really like one day would be a bluetooth-enabled GPS that could sit in my backpack not doing much, but everytime I took a photo, could sync its satellites and provide the GPS coordinates back to the camera. That would be really nifty for travel photography, and kill two birds with one stone for a lot of wikipedia articles: a photo and the exact GPS location of the subject (providing you're not too far from it when you shoot).
