Filed under: Gadgets

Tennis star Maria Sharapova and her cute white dog Dolce are starring in another campaign for the Canon Powershot cameras. As part of the promotion and in anticipation of the U.S. Open, Canon will be giving away five diamond-encrusted cameras in each color that the camera is offered in. Sharapova will debut the five diamond-covered Canon PowerShot Elph cameras during an invitation-only event at "Canon Center Court" on Aug. 20 at South Street Seaport. The cameras are worth around $12,000 each and the contest will run from August 20 to October 20 on the Powershot website.

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).
