With all the various gadgets we've seen gold-plated, crystal-studded or diamond-encrusted, there is one gadget that has had little attention paid to it: the digital camera. Digital cameras have been getting sleeker and faster, but there has been a noticeable lack of really over-the-top ones until now. To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Canon will be auctioning off ten Diamond IXUS cameras on eBay, where the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross. Nine of the ten cameras are described as "his and hers" cameras and are valued at €3,500. The last camera is the Super Diamond IXUS, covered with 380 diamonds and valued at €40,000 (about $50,800).
