I've given away one of my old cameras; I never thought I'd see the day. Not only that but it was the Ixus APS. I loved that camera - it met all the criteria for being a loved possession - it was small, beautiful, a gadget and, best of all, it was shiny. But now it's gone. I gave it to my small niece Amy. I'm sure she'll enjoy using it (and I doubt I'd use it again) and I'm sure she'll take good care of it.... sob.
