Only if you state the camera model on which they're found.

True for most of the people here... But We're going a way to people
taking photos and printing them out with direct printing.
Image manipulation on the computer will be done by the people that hav
had a lab in earlier days. So such functionality might be useful for
casual photographers...
No one forces you to use this stuff :-)

I feel so inadequate, my K10D has no scene modes. ;-)

Mirror Lock-up Mode: Makes a viewfinder 100% useless, no need for it in a
well designed camera that doesn't depend on a noisy and camera jarring
focal-plane shutter design from last century.
Sensor Cleaning Mode: What a joke. Not needed in a well designed camera.
Let's all just put a half-assed patch and rubber wheels on some horse-drawn
buggy to try to make it road-worthy, but in the end you're still left
cleaning up the piles of crap.
DOF Preview Mode: Darkens the image in an OVF so much that it's useless.
There's so many more just like this but to list them all would be a waste
of my valuable time.

My entry would be Nikon's recently introduced "smile" mode -- the camera
fires when it detects that the subject is smiling. I have it on one of my
new Coolpixes but have never actually tried it.
No doubt we'll see more of this stuff as manufacturers wrack their brains
for some new feature to distinguish new models from last year's (or maybe
from six months ago, judging by the rapidity with which new models appear).
In their newest models I see Nikon has an anti-blink mode -- the camera
fires twice, keeps the shot in which it has determined the subject is not
caught in mid-blink. (I wonder what it does if there are two subjects and
they both blink but in the alternate shots.)
Technology marches on.

Mind you I never use them on my Ds, almost always shoot in aperture
priority.
The K10D has a fabulous setup for its program mode call hyper program, use
the rear wheel and you make adjustments in apeerture priority mode and if
you use the front wheel it adjusts in shutter priority mode.

I have no objection to a pleasing appearance to my food, but in the end,
it MUST taste good. I am not convinced that the appearance markedly
affects the taste.

What we really need is a porn mode
Now what manufacturer would pay me royalties on that idea
I'll only ask for 0.0001% :-),

What are they? Mood filters? This is mind boggling.
So, a mostly capable camera manufacturer cannot make a significant or even a
marginal advance in useable resolution, dynamic range, high ISO performance,
the user interface, or anything else that actually means something to most
photographers?
Marketing is tiresome. The best manufacturers have more aggressive
scientists and engineers and fewer aggressive marketers.
